Take it EZ (Posted on 2022-12-13) Difficulty: 1 of 5
Solving the equation:
x3-300x=2961
was one of the problems in Oxford entrance requirements.

A solution published on the web is based on calculus which was not to be assumed as possessed by all applicants.

I ‘ve solved it p&p, and almost in no time.

Request to provide a KISS (sans calculus) solution.
