SOLUTION: Solve for x: 2 - x^3 = ln(x+2) This is how I tried solving it. e^(2 - x^3) = e^(ln(x+2)) e^(2 - x^3) = x+2 e^(2 - x^3)-2 = x But I'm left with the x^3 in the power o

Question 1093128: Solve for x:
2 - x^3 = ln(x+2)
This is how I tried solving it.
e^(2 - x^3) = e^(ln(x+2))
e^(2 - x^3) = x+2
e^(2 - x^3)-2 = x
But I'm left with the x^3 in the power of e and I'm unable to solve it any further. Thanks!

It can not be solved analytically.


It can be solved approximately only, using numerical methods or "technology".
