144x3−18x=0
Factor the expression
18x(8x2−1)=0
Divide both sides
x(8x2−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=08x2−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
8x2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
8x2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
8x2=1
Divide both sides
88x2=81
Divide the numbers
x2=81
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±81
