Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = -1/27



Discussion:

3 x^(1/3) -1 +2 = 0 =>

3 x^(1/3) +1 = 0 => (as -1 + 2 = 1).

3 x^(1/3) + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1 => Add -1 to both sides

3 x^(1/3) = -1 => (divide both sides by 3)

(3/3) x^(1/3) = -1/3 =>

x^(1/3) = -1/3 =>

x = (-1/3) ^3 =>

x = -1/27


Thank you,

MrB
