We'll use numerical methods to find the solution. Graphing 
and 
together shows that there is only one point of intersection - slightly less than -1. So we know that there is only 1 real solution.
We use Newton's method:
then
We wont bother simplifying because we'll do the calculations by calculator:
guess x=-1
