x4−24x5=0
Factor the expression
x4(1−24x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x4=01−24x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−24x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−24x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−24x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−24x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
24x=1
Divide both sides
2424x=241
Divide the numbers
x=241
x=0x=241
