first of all clearing denominators we get 512x9 + (9 · 64)x6 + (27 · 8)x3 − 512x + 219 = 0

thiscomes out to be (8x3 + 3)3 = 512x − 192 =⇒ 83 x3 + 8 = 83 x − 8 =⇒ x3 + 8 = x− 8

which implies if we take f (x) = x3 + 8 for f : R → R then f −1 (x) = x − 8

which implies that we have to solve f (x) = f −1 (x) and since f (x) and f −1 (x) are symmetrical about x axis we get
that f (x) = x gives us the required solution.

so we get that x − x − 8 = 0 =⇒ (2x − 1)(4x + 2x − 3) = 0 =⇒ x = , ■
