5x3v39+54
5x^3v^39+54

Step by Step Solution

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

 (1): "v3"   was replaced by   "v^3".  1 more similar replacement(s).

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  ((5x2 • v39) • x) +  54

Step  2  :

Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes :

 2.1      Factoring:  5x3v39+54 

Theory : A sum of two perfect cubes,  a3 + b3 can be factored into  :
             (a+b) • (a2-ab+b2)
Proof  : (a+b) • (a2-ab+b2) =
    a3-a2b+ab2+ba2-b2a+b3 =
    a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)+b3=
    a3+0+0+b3=
    a3+b3


Check :  5  is not a cube !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes

Final result :

  5x3v39 + 54
