Solve.. 5x^3 - 8 = - 48?

5x³ = - 40
x³ = - 8
x = - 2

steps (if you need them)

5x^3 = -48 + 8
5x^3 = -40
x^3 = -40 / 5
x^3 = -8
therefore x = cuberoot(-8)

x = -2

I guess this will help
thanks

Please select this answer as the best answer.

5x^3 - 8 = -48
5x^3 = -48 + 8
5x^3 = -40
x^3 = -40/5
x^3 = -8
x = ³√-8
x = ³√(-2 * -2 * -2)
x = -2

x=-2

first you go -48 + 8, then divide that answer by 5, then cube root that answer.

x=-2
