The general answer is :

x=1453x = \sqrt[3]{\frac{14}{5}}

Principal real root:

x1=1.40945975x_1 = 1.40945975

Complex roots:

x2=0.704729873+1.22062795ix_2 = −0.704729873+1.22062795i

x3=0.7047298731.22062795ix_3 = −0.704729873−1.22062795i


We are given the equation:

8×75x=4x2\frac{8 \times 7}{5x} = 4x^2

Step 1: Simplify the Left-Hand Side

Compute 7x8:

565x=4x2\frac{56}{5x} = 4x^2

Step 2: Cross Multiply

Multiply both sides by 5x5x to eliminate the fraction:

56=4x25x56 = 4x^2 \cdot 5x

56=20x356 = 20x^3

Step 3: Solve for xx

Divide both sides by 20:

5620=x3\frac{56}{20} = x^3

145=x3\frac{14}{5} = x^3

Step 4: Take the Cube Root

x=1453x = \sqrt[3]{\frac{14}{5}}

This is the exact solution. Approximating the cube root numerically:

x2.831.4x \approx \sqrt[3]{2.8} \approx 1.4

Principal real root:

x1=1.40945975x_1 = 1.40945975

Complex roots:

x2=0.704729873+1.22062795ix_2 = −0.704729873+1.22062795i

x3=0.7047298731.22062795ix_3 = −0.704729873−1.22062795i
