Answer

The solution is $\left\{0\right\}$.

Work Step by Step

Add 1 on both sides of the equation to obtain: $\sqrt[3]{1-2x}-1+1=0+1 \\\sqrt[3]{1-2x}=1$ Cube both sides of the equation to obtain: $1-2x=1^3 \\1-2x=1$ Subtract 1 on both sides to obtain: $-2x = 1-1 \\-2x=0$ Divide -2 to both sides of the equation to obtain: $x=\frac{0}{-2} \\x=0$ Thus, the solution is $\left\{0\right\}$
