125x^3+216 = 0

(5x)^3 + 6^3 = 0

(5x + 6)((5x)^2 - 5x*6 + 6^2) = 0 ... use the sum of cubes formula

(5x + 6)(25x^2 - 30x + 36) = 0

5x + 6 = 0 or 25x^2 - 30x + 36 = 0

5x = -6 or 25x^2 - 30x + 36 = 0

x = -6/5 or 25x^2 - 30x + 36 = 0

So one solution is x = -6/5

The other two solutions can be found by solving 25x^2 - 30x + 36 = 0

You solve 25x^2 - 30x + 36 = 0 for x by using the quadratic formula.
