Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
x-(3*x^3+8*x^2+5*x-7)=0
4.1 Pull out like factors :
-3x3 - 8x2 - 4x + 7 =
-1 • (3x3 + 8x2 + 4x - 7)
4.2 3x3 + 8x2 + 4x - 7 is not a perfect cube
4.3 Factoring: 3x3 + 8x2 + 4x - 7
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: 3x3 - 7
Group 2: 8x2 + 4x
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (3x3 - 7) • (1)
Group 2: (2x + 1) • (4x)
