Multiply the terms

x^{2} \times 6 x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

x^{2 + 1} \times 6

Add the numbers

x^{3} \times 6

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

6 x^{3}

6 x^{3} - 2 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

6 x^{3} = 0 + 2

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

6 x^{3} = 2

Divide both sides

\frac{6 x ^{3}}{6} = \frac{2}{6}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{2}{6}

Cancel out the common factor 2

x^{3} = \frac{1}{3}

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{1}{3}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{1}{3}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

3 \frac{1}{3}

To take a root of a fraction,take the root of the numerator and denominator separately

\frac{3 1}{3 3}

Simplify the radical expression

\frac{1}{3 3}

Multiply by the Conjugate

\frac{3 3 ^{2}}{3 3 \times 3 3 ^{2}}

Simplify

\frac{3 9}{3 3 \times 3 3 ^{2}}

Evaluate

33 \times 3 3^{2}

The product of roots with the same index is equal to the root of the product

3 3 \times 3^{2}

Calculate the product

3 3^{3}

Reduce the index of the radical and exponent with 3
