Question
$$7x^3+13x^2 = x^3-2x^2$$
Answer
$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = 0 & x_2 = -\dfrac{ 5 }{ 2 } \\[1 em] \end{matrix} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 7x^3+13x^2 &= x^3-2x^2&& \text{move all terms to the left hand side } \\[1 em]7x^3+13x^2-x^3+2x^2 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]6x^3+15x^2 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
In order to solve $ \color{blue}{ 6x^{3}+15x^{2} = 0 } $, first we need to factor our $ x^2 $.
$$ 6x^{3}+15x^{2} = x^2 \left( 6x+15 \right) $$$ x = 0 $ is a root of multiplicity $ 2 $.
The second root can be found by solving equation $ 6x+15 = 0$.
