Let's simplify the given expression step by step:
(х-1)(х^2+х+1) = х(х^2+х+1) - 1(х^2+х+1) = х^3 + х^2 + х - х^2 - х - 1= х^3 - 1
Now, substitute this back into the original expression:
х^3 - 1 - х^3 - х^2 = 2х
Since the х^3 terms cancel out, we are left with:
-1 - х^2 = 2х
Adding х^2 to both sides, we get:
-1 = 2х + х^2
Rearranging terms, we get:
х^2 + 2х + 1 = 0
This is a perfect square trinomial, which factors to:
(х + 1)^2 = 0
Therefore, the solution to the equation is:
х = -1
