    Step 1: Multiply both sides by x.

    -3x+2=x2-3x-2

    Step 2: Multiply both sides by x.

    -3x2+2x=x3-3x2-2x

    -3x2+2x - (x3-3x2-2x) = x3-3x2-2x - (x3-3x2-2x) (Subtract x^3-3x^2-2x from both sides)

    -x3+4x=0

    x (-x+2) (x+2) = 0 (Factor left side of equation)

    x=0 or - x+2=0 or x+2=0 (Set factors equal to 0)

    x=0 or x=2 or x=-2

    Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

    x=2 (Works in original equation)

    x=-2 (Works in original equation)
