    There is no easy way, and the closest way I know of solving it is using Newton-Raphson's method.

    You can look it up on the net. Wikipedia has an article about it: Newton's method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    You can have a look at the 'Examples'

    What to basically have to do here, is to make x the subject of formula, so that you get a number which appears to get smaller.

    Eg.




    Let x = 2.



    Now, you take that value and put it as x, that is:



    Now you continue doing this until you are satisfied with the number.
