To solve the equation \( x^3 - 10 = -2 \), we can follow these steps:
-
Add 10 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ x^3 - 10 + 10 = -2 + 10 \] Which simplifies to: \[ x^3 = 8 \]
-
Take the cube root of both sides to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \sqrt[3]{8} \]
-
Simplify the cube root: \[ x = 2 \]
Thus, the solution to the equation \( x^3 - 10 = -2 \) is \( x = 2 \).
