3x5−4x=0
Factor the expression
x(3x4−4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=03x4−4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3x4−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3x4=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3x4=4
Divide both sides
33x4=34
Divide the numbers
x4=34
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±434
