MathBot Answer:
The 3 solutions to the equation are: \[\begin{aligned}x &= 3\\x &= - \frac{\sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \sqrt{1695}}{3} + \frac{881}{27}}}{2} - \frac{61}{18 \sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \sqrt{1695}}{3} + \frac{881}{27}}} - \frac{1}{3} + i \left(- \frac{61 \sqrt{3}}{18 \sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \sqrt{1695}}{3} + \frac{881}{27}}} + \frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \sqrt{1695}}{3} + \frac{881}{27}}}{2}\right) \approx -3.1568773 + 1.8931105 i\\x &= - \frac{\sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \sqrt{1695}}{3} + \frac{881}{27}}}{2} - \frac{61}{18 \sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \sqrt{1695}}{3} + \frac{881}{27}}} - \frac{1}{3} + i \left(- \frac{\sqrt{3} \sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \sqrt{1695}}{3} + \frac{881}{27}}}{2} + \frac{61 \sqrt{3}}{18 \sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \sqrt{1695}}{3} + \frac{881}{27}}}\right) \approx -3.1568773 -1.8931105 i\end{aligned}\]
\(i\) is the imaginary unit, defined as \(i^2 = -1\).
