Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1+9k3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
9k3=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
9k3=−1
Divide both sides
99k3=9−1
Divide the numbers
k3=9−1
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
k3=−91
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3k3=3−91
Calculate
k=3−91
