Question
Solve the equation(The real numbers system)
x1≈−0.260731,x2≈0.829949
Evaluate
x(x−1)−31=−x4
Move the expression to the left side
x(x−1)−31−(−x4)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
x(x−1)−31+x4=0
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
x(x−1)
Apply the distributive property
x×x−x×1
Multiply the terms
x2−x×1
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
x2−x
x2−x−31+x4=0
Factor the expression
31(3x2−3x−1+3x4)=0
Divide both sides
3x2−3x−1+3x4=0
Solution
x1≈−0.260731,x2≈0.829949
