Solve for real solution of the system below: x3+x2+x={x}1.

Solve for real solution of the system below:

x3+x2+x={x}1.

My solution:

First, observe that the LHS of the equality must yield an integer, this tells us the fractional part of x must be a zero, so this turns the whole equation as:

x3+x2+x=1x3+x2+x+1=0(x+1)(x2+1)=0

This implies x=1 is the only real solution to the system.
