Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2−72x3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−72x3=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−72x3=−2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
72x3=2
Divide both sides
7272x3=722
Divide the numbers
x3=722
Cancel out the common factor 2
x3=361
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=3361
Calculate
x=3361
