216 + x = x(x {}^(2) - 5) + 6x


216 + x = x {}^(3) - 5x + 6x

Add like terms


216 + x = x {}^(3) + x

Subtract x form both sides and they both cancel out


216 = x {}^(3)

Subtract 216 from both sides


216 - x {}^(3) = 0

Plug in your calculator, in your "y=" and look at your zeros and *check if they equal each other by substituting x with the zeros and that ones that work is your answer.
