Find all real numbers \(a\) that satisfy:

\([\frac{1}{a^3 + 7} -7 = \frac{-a^3}{a^3 + 7}]\)

1/ ( a^3 + 7)   - 7 =  -a^3 / ( a^3 + 7)      rearrange as

 

1 / (a^3 + 7)  + a^3/ (a^3 + 7)  =  7

 

(1 + a^3)  = 7 ( a^3 + 7)

 

1 + a^3   7a^3 + 49

 

-6a^3  = 48

 

a^3  =  -48 / 6

 

a^3 =  -8

 

a  = -2

Whats the point of copying CPhill's answer? 

There is no need for the same work twice. How about next time do it yourself? :)
