-ab should be simplified to the following
i.e
-ab = - (25 + 10√5)^⅓ (25 - 10√5)^⅓
= - (25² - 10² x 5)^⅓
= - (125)^⅓
= -5
But a² and b² still have the exponentials.
i.e a² = (25 + 10√5)^⅔
b² = (25 - 10√5)^⅔
a² + b² will not simplify to (25² + (10√5)²) x 2,

You know how to become perfect square easyvproblrm please go and learn
A + B Perfect square is a square plus b square mijus two ab
A + B Perfect square is a square plus b square mijus two ab
We all know that.
The point is, you should be getting
50 = x((a+b)² - 2ab - ab)
50 = x(x² - 2(125)^⅓ - (125)^⅓)
50 = x (x² - 2(5) - 5)
50 = x(x² - 15)
50 = x³ - 15x
x³ - 15x - 50 = 0
Which is not what you wrote above
