Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
0<x<67
Alternative Form
x∈(0,67)
Evaluate
27x3>3x4
Move the expression to the left side
27x3−3x4>0
Rewrite the expression
27x3−3x4=0
Factor the expression
x3(27−3x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=027−3x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=027−3x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
27−3x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−3x=0−27
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−3x=−27
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
3x=27
Multiply by the reciprocal
3x×31=27×31
