Solve for x:
x^3+3 x^2+3 x+3 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:
x^3+3 x^2+3 x+1 = -2

Factor x^3+3 x^2+3 x+1 into a perfect cube:
(x+1)^3 = -2

Taking cube roots gives (-2)^(1/3) times the third roots of unity:
x+1 = (-2)^(1/3) or x+1 = -2^(1/3) or x+1 = -((-1)^(2/3) 2^(1/3))

Subtract 1 from both sides:
x = (-2)^(1/3)-1 or x+1 = -2^(1/3) or x+1 = -((-1)^(2/3) 2^(1/3))

Subtract 1 from both sides:
x = (-2)^(1/3)-1 or x = -1-2^(1/3) or x+1 = -((-1)^(2/3) 2^(1/3))

Subtract 1 from both sides:
Answer: |x = (-2)^(1/3)-1     or     x = -1-2^(1/3)     or      x = -1-(-1)^(2/3) 2^(1/3)
