44x^3-6x^2-8x=0
2x(22x^2-3x-4)=0
2x= 0
22x^2-3x-4=0
(-4 + -11x)(1 + -2x)=0
-4+-11x=0
-11x=4
x=4/-11
and
1+-2x=0
-2x=-1
x=1/2
hope this helps

first you would do combine like terms but since you have no combine liked terms you would put the numbers in order with the exponents so the 44x^3 then -6x^2 - 8x=0 this is the answer. there is nothing else to do in the problem but to put the numbers in order
