Step by Step Solution

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (2x26 • x) -  36  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   2x27 - 36  =   2 • (x27 - 18) 

Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:

 3.2      Factoring:  x27 - 18 

Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes,  a3 - b3 can be factored into
              (a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)

Proof :  (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
            a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
            a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
            a3+0+0-b3 =
            a3-b3


Check :  18  is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  2 • (x27 - 18)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    x27-18 = 0 

 
Add  18  to both sides of the equation : 
 
                     x27 = 18
                     x  =  27th root of (18) 

 
The equation has one real solution
This solution is  x = 27th root of 18 = 1.1130

One solution was found :

                   x = 27th root of 18 = 1.1130
