        You factored incorrectly; making errors, you created difficulties for yourself.

                A correct factoring is below.


(x^2-3x)^(1/3) * [x + 2*(x^2-3x)^(3/3)) = 0,

or

(x^2-3x)^(1/3) * (2x^2-5x) = 0.


It deploys in separate equations


    (a)  x = 0

    (b)  x - 3 = 0

    (c)  2x - 5 = 0


with elementary solutions.

Find the real solutions by factoring.

x(x^2 - 3x)^(1/3) + 2(x^2 - 3x)^(4/3) = 0

I factored out (x^2 - 3x)^(1/3).

(x^2 - 3x)^(1/3)[x + 2(x^2 - 3x)^(4/9)]
