x2=01−168x5=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−168x5=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−168x5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−168x5=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−168x5=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
168x5=1
Divide both sides
168168x5=1681
Divide the numbers
x5=1681
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5x5=51681
