You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your best bet is use a substitution and the quadratic formula.
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"u=x%5E3\"$ , then $\"u%5E2=x%5E6\"$ , then solve
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u%5E2-7u-8=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Once you find $\"u\"$ substitute back to $\"x\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
