5x3−2x=0
Factor the expression
x(5x2−2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=05x2−2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
5x2−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5x2=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5x2=2
Divide both sides
55x2=52
Divide the numbers
x2=52
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±52
