Step by Step Solution

Step  1  :

Step  2  :

Pulling out like terms :

 2.1     Pull out like factors :

   -x24 - 2  =   -1 • (x24 + 2) 

Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes :

 2.2      Factoring:  x24 + 2 

Theory : A sum 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 :  2  is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  -x24 - 2  = 0 

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 3.1      Solve  :    -x24-2 = 0 

 
Add  2  to both sides of the equation : 
 
                     -x24 = 2
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  x24 = -2


                     x  =  24th root of (-2) 

 
The equation has no real solutions. It has 24 imaginary, or complex solutions.
 These solutions are x = 24th root of -2.00000

                   These solutions are x = 24th root of -2.00000
