480x3−24x=0
Factor the expression
24x(20x2−1)=0
Divide both sides
x(20x2−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=020x2−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
20x2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
20x2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
20x2=1
Divide both sides
2020x2=201
Divide the numbers
x2=201
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±201
