Question
Solve the equation
x=2
Evaluate
x2×2x−16=0
Multiply
More Steps

Evaluate
x2×2x
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
x2+1×2
Add the numbers
x3×2
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
2x3
2x3−16=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x3=0+16
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2x3=16
Divide both sides
22x3=216
Divide the numbers
x3=216
