x = -2 and image.

The roots of the polynomial image are x = -0.6309, -1.52543 and 4.15633.

Solutions are x = -2, -0.6309, -1.52543 and 4.15633.

Check:

if x = -2 then image

x = -2 is solution of .

If x = -0.6309 then image.

x = -0.6309 is not the solution of .

If x = -1.52543 then image.

x = -1.52543 is solution of .

If x = 4.15633 then image.

x = -1.52543 is not the solution of .

Therefore the solutions of are x = -2 and -1.52543.
