I would have to go check my old abstract algebra textbooks to find the exact way it's described, but if I remember correctly, for any prime p, you have (x+y)^p=x^p+y^p for all x and y when considering over the field Z_p. The trick is to realize that for a prime, all the binomial coefficients in the expansion of the left hand side are a multiple of p, except the first and last (which are always one). Since p~0 in that field, all the extra terms simply disappear. Granted, the solution over the complex numbers given here is the best interpretation of the problem when given without a more specific context, but it's nice to know that there really is a context where the naive student's thought that (x+y)^2=x^2 + y^2 actually does hold.

By symmetry arguments you can see that this is solved when x^3 = -7^3 which is equivalent to (x/-7)^3 = 1. The three roots of unity are {1, -1/2 + sqrt(3)/2 * i, -1/2 - sqrt(3)/2 * i}. Set x/-7 to these three values you get the last 3 roots.

I think i have a general solution to this kind of equation: (x+n)^n = x^n + n^n ( n is natural number, n > 1). Divide both side of equation by n^n. We will have (x+n)^n / n^n = x^n / n^n + 1 which is equivalent to (x/n + 1)^n = (x/n)^n + 1. Let t = x/n, then the equation will become (t+1)^n = t^n + 1. So now we will focus on solving t It is easy to see that if n is even then we just have one solution is t = 0 and if n is odd then t = -1 or t = 0. The main idea here is show that these are only solutions. So let f(t) = (t+1)^n - t^n - 1 Case 1: n is even f'(t) = n.(t+1)^(n-1) - n.t^(n-1) f'(t) = 0 (t+1)^(n-1) = t^(n-1) Notice that n is even so n-1 is odd. Then we have t+1 = t (nonsense) So f'(t) > 0. Thus f(t) = 0 has maximum one solution. And t = 0 is the only solution here. Case 2: n is odd. We have f''(t) = n(n-1).(t+1)^(n-2) - n(n-1).t^(n-2) f"(t) = 0 (t+1)^(n-2) = t^(n-2) Notice that n is odd so n-2 is odd Then we have t+1 = t (nonsense again) So f"(t) > 0 which leads us to the fact that f(t) = 0 has maximum two solutions. And t = 0 and t = -1 are two solutions. After we have solved for t, we can easily solve for x.

Alternative Solution for real roots only. Consider the function f(x)=(x+7)^7 - (x^7+7^7) First, compute the derivative: f'(x)=7(x+7)^6-7x^6 Setting the derivative to zero to find critical points: f'(x)=0 (x+7)^6=7x^6 Taking the sixth root on both sides: |x+7|=|x|. This implies x=-3.5, which is the only extremum and minimum point of the function. Since f(x) monotonic and continuous, it intersects the x-axis twice. Additionally, x=-3.5 is the axis of symmetry for the function derived from the binomial expansion. Given this symmetry, the second solution is 3.5 units away in the negative direction from the axis of symmetry at x=-3.5, which gives x=-7. Therefore, the real solutions are x=-7, x=0.

I don't like how you have to explain how to solve 49x=0 but not how to simplify (x+7)^7-x^7-7^7. Here's how I would have done it. Being able to cancel out the x^7 and constant terms is too good, so I would expand the polynomial. Don't want the coefficients blowing up? Substitute x=7t and the problem reduces to (t+1)^7=t^7-1. After the expansion, subtraction, and division by 7, we get t^6+3t^5+5t^4+5t^3+3t^2+t. Factor out the t, and factor the rest by grouping terms with the same coefficients. t^5+1+3t(t^3+1)+5t^2(t+1)=(t+1)(t^4-t^3+t^2-t+1+3t^3-3t^2+3t+5t^2)=(t+1)(t^4+2t^3+3t^2+2t+1)=(t+1)(t^2+t+1)^2. Solve for t, multiply by 7 to get x.
why not just expand using binomial and then cancel out the x⁷ and 7⁷ terms you can factor it out afterwards easily....

That doesn’t work because on the right hand side you have x^7 + 7^7. You can’t take a root in this form because that would basically be saying root(x+y) = root(x) + root(y) and we can test that doesn’t work by just plugging in numbers such as 4 and 5. root(4 + 5) = 3 but root(4) + root(5) ≈ 4.236 so by counter example the root of the sums is not equal to the sum of the roots hence you can’t cancel out powers of individual terms by taking the root of the whole thing, the whole thing would need to be raised to a power for you to be able to if that makes sense.
