You can't, -5x^3 is as simple as possible, it simply means take "x" and multiply it by itself twice (x times x times x), then multiple the answer to that by -5.

To give an example, I will plug in a number for "x".

Lets say x=3. So the equation would look like "-5*3^3".

First you do 3^3.

3 X 3 X 3 = 27

So "3^3" has become "27". Now the equation looks like "-5*27"

Now all you have to do is solve for -5*27, which equals -135.

In case you did not know, "*" means "multiplied by" (or "times") and "^" means "to the power of".

How do you simplify the square root of 5x to the 13 power?

The square root of anything to an even power is that thing to half the power. √(5x^13) = √(x^12 5x) = √(x^12) √(5x) = x^6 √(5x) But is that really any simpler?


What is the answer to -27 8x - 5x?

Set up the equation and solve: -27 = 8x - 5x (next simplify by subtracting 5x from 8x)) -27 = 3x (next divide both sides of the equation by 3) -27/3 = 3x/3 (next simplify and solve) -9 = x


3x equals 5x-10 equals?

3x = 5x - 10 Subtract both sides by 5x 3x - 5x = 5x - 10 - 5x Simplify - 2x = - 10 Divided both sides by -2 to isolate x - 2x / - 2 = - 10 / - 2 Simplify x = 5 Plug x into the original equation. 3(5) = 5(5) - 10 = ? Simplify 15 = 25 - 10 = ? Simplify 15 = 15 = ? Therefore 3x = 5x - 10 = 15
