x3−3x6=0
Factor the expression
x3(1−3x3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=01−3x3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−3x3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−3x3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−3x3=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−3x3=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
3x3=1
Divide both sides
33x3=31
Divide the numbers
x3=31
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=331
