Given  x^3 +(1/x^3 )=18  (x+(1/x))(x^2 +(1/x^2 )−1)=18  (x+(1/x)){(x+(1/x))^2 −3}=18  y(y^2 −3)=18 where x+(1/x)=y, say  y^3 −3y−18=0  y^3 −3y^2 +3y^2 −9y+6y−18=0  y^2 (y−3)+3y(y−3)+6(y−3)=0  (y−3)(y^2 +3y+6)=0  (y−3)(y^2 +3y+6)=0  y−3=0  y=3  x+(1/x)=3

Why have you left y^2 +3y+6=0?  y=((-3 ±(√(9−24)))/2)    =((-3 ±i(√(15)))/2)  x+(1/x)=((-3 ±i(√(15)))/2)  Is this not a valid value of x+(1/x)?
$$\mathrm{Why}\:\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{left}\:{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}{y}+\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{0}? \\ $$$${y}=\frac{-\mathrm{3}\:\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{24}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:\:=\frac{-\mathrm{3}\:\pm{i}\sqrt{\mathrm{15}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${x}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}=\frac{-\mathrm{3}\:\pm{i}\sqrt{\mathrm{15}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Is}\:\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{valid}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of}\:{x}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}? \\ $$

assuming y to be real.  otherwise 3 possible solutions   of course.
