Let 1 0 + x 3 + 1 0 0 = α ⇒ x 3 + 1 0 0 = α 2 − 1 0 . Equation transforms to: α = − α 2 + 2 0 ⇒ α 2 + α − 2 0 = 0 α = 4 = 1 0 + x 3 + 1 0 0 (-5 rejected since α > 0 ) ⇒ x 3 = − 6 4 ⇒ x = − 4
Oh it's you again!!

1 0 + x 3 + 1 0 0 = 1 0 − x 3 + 1 0 0
a = x 3 + 1 0 0
1 0 + a = 1 0 − a
1 0 + a = 1 0 0 − 2 0 a + a 2
a 2 − 2 1 a + 9 0 = 0
( a − 1 5 ) ( a − 6 ) = 0
a = 1 5 , 6
x 3 + 1 0 0 = 1 5 , 6
x 3 + 1 0 0 = 2 2 5 , 3 6
x 3 = 1 2 5 , − 6 4
x = 5 , − 4
If x = 5 , 1 0 + 5 3 + 1 0 0 = 1 0 − 5 3 + 1 0 0
1 0 + 2 2 5 = 1 0 − 2 2 5
1 0 + 1 5 = 1 0 − 1 5
2 5 = − 5
x = ∣ x ∣ ∴ 2 5 = 5
5 = − 5 ∴ x = 5 , x = − 4
x = − 4
