Question
Solve the equation
x=25120
Alternative Form
x≈1.302586
Evaluate
x260x−15=0
Find the domain
More Steps

Evaluate
60x≥0
Rewrite the expression
x≥0
x260x−15=0,x≥0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x260x=15
Raise both sides of the equation to the 2-th power to eliminate the isolated 2-th root
(x260x)2=152
Evaluate the power
60x5=225
Divide both sides
6060x5=60225
Divide the numbers
x5=60225
Cancel out the common factor 15
x5=415
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5x5=5415
