Evaluate
x25−2x=0
Factor the expression
x(x23−2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=0x23−2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x23−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x23=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x23=2
Raise both sides of the equation to the reciprocal of the exponent
(x23)32=232
Evaluate the power
x=232
