Question
Solve the equation
x1=1,x2≈1.278163
Evaluate
6x−5=x4
Move the expression to the left side
6x−5−x4=0
Factor the expression
(1−x)(x3+x2+x−5)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
1−x=0x3+x2+x−5=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x=1
x=1x3+x2+x−5=0
Solve the equation
x=1x≈1.278163
Solution
x1=1,x2≈1.278163
