3rd roots in denominator

Homework Statement


[tex]\frac{ \sqrt[3]{25} + \sqrt[3]{5x} + \sqrt[3]{x^2} }{ \sqrt[3]{x} - \sqrt[3]{5} }[/tex]

Rewrite the expression with no roots in the denominator and it being simplified as far as possible.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


I'm.. stumped. Seriously. How on Earth do I get rid of them? I can't do the conjugate, I can't take the denominator to the power of three, I can't take it times (x3 + 53) and I'm out of ideas.Sorry about it being called Polynomial division, mishap on my behalf.

Thank you! I'd never have figured that one out myself
