(1−152)x3
Subtract the numbers
−151x3
−151x3−12=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−151x3=0+12
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−151x3=12
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
151x3=−12
Divide both sides
151151x3=151−12
Divide the numbers
x3=151−12
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
x3=−15112
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=3−15112
