Step by Step Solution

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (5x26 • x) -  8  = 0 

Step  2  :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:

 2.1      Factoring:  5x27-8 

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 :  5  is not a cube !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  5x27 - 8  = 0 

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 3.1      Solve  :    5x27-8 = 0 

 
Add  8  to both sides of the equation : 
 
                     5x27 = 8
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
                     x27 = 8/5 = 1.600
                     x  =  27th root of (8/5) 

 
The equation has one real solution
This solution is  x = 27th root of ( 1.600) = 1.01756

One solution was found :

                   x = 27th root of ( 1.600) = 1.01756
