(x/x*x)+(x*x*x/x)+(x*x)=100
(1/x)+(x^2)+(x^2) = 100
(1/x) + 2x^2 = 100
Multiply thru by x to get:
1 + 2x^3 = 100x
Rearrange to get:
2x^3-100x+1 = 0
I graphed it to find a solution between 0 and 9
Solution: x= 1/100

1/x+x^2+x^2=100
2x^2+1/x=100
2x^3+1=100x multiply time x to eliminate fraction.
2x^3-100x+1=0
