x^3 + x + 3x +1 = 1 - x

what are the solution(s) of x?

0

assuming it is typed up correctly the only possible answer is 0

you could have imaginary roots then other possible choice would be +/- root 5i

but chances are you won't get that so I'd go for 0.

i'm just upset because i included the imaginary answer in my answer (since it didnt ask for real solutions only) and got it wrong since i chose 'none of the above'

i guess dentists dont believe in the powers of 'i'
