Subtract the numbers
−727x4
−727x4−2x3
−727x4−2x3=0
Factor the expression
−x3(727x+2)=0
Divide both sides
x3(727x+2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=0727x+2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0727x+2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
727x+2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
727x=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
727x=−2
Divide both sides
727727x=727−2
Divide the numbers
x=727−2
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
x=−7272
x=0x=−7272
