Although there are formal methods, the simplest is to see if the cubic can be factorised. If so, you'll have a linear factor and a quadratic, both of which are easy to solve.

Alternatively, you could try solving it graphically.

Another possibility is to solve it numerically. The derivative of a cubic, of the form f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d is f'(x) = 3ax2 + 2bx + c.

Make an initial estimate x1. An improved estimate is x2 = x1 - f(x1)/f'(x1). Use x2 to make next estimate, and so on.

How to convert 1064.32 square meters to cubic meters?

you can't Square meters are a measure of area, cubic meters are a measure of volume. If you were told a cube has an area of 1064 square meters what is it's volume? then you could solve it but that is not what you have asked!

How do you solve a cubic equation?

If you can find a simple factoring of the cubic polynomial, then it is fairly easy to solve (by the zero-product property). Otherwise it isn't; there are several iterative methods, but none of them is simple. That's why the solution of polynomials of degree is usually not covered in high school, or even in college. If you are really interested in the more or less complicated details, the Wikipedia article on "Root-finding algorithm" gives you an introduction.


How much paint per cubic meter?

Not enough information. It is impossible to solve a math problem with only one variable. You gave "cubic metre", paint is not a measurement so it doesn't count. Need thickness and possibly the type of paint or it's weight per cubic metre or something like that. Also must know what you want the "how much" in.
