1. As far as I'm informed Bhaskara's formula is used to solve quadratic equations. After some transformations your equation will be a cube equation:



If you don't want to use numerical methods you have to use Cardano's formula.

2. If and only if the original equation is



Then you can use Bhaskara's formula.

Hey, thanks for the answer.

Well I got to the point. But I do not understand how to reduce it to x^2 so I can use the bhaskara forum and solve it myself. Could you or someone please explain it? Thanks so much in advances
