    1. 2t^5+2T^4-144t^3=0

    factor out 2t^3 so you get

    2t^3(t^2+t-72)=0

    then factor the remainder and you get

    2t^3(t-8)(t+9)=0

    then set each part of the left side equal to 0

    2t^3=0, t=0

    t-8=0, t=8

    t+9=0, t=-9

    Final answer t = 0, 8, -9

    2. 2x^3 -10x^2 +40 = 8x

    first move the 8x to the left side.

    2x^3 -10x^2 -8x +40 = 0

    factor the problem and you get

    2(x-5)(x-2)(x+2)=0

    set each of the three parts on the left equal to 0

    x-5=0, x=5

    x-2=0, x=2

    x+2=0, x=-2

    Final answer x = 5, 2, -2

    Hope this helps
