x  - 32 = 0
$$x^{5} - 32 = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$x^{5} - 32 = 0$$
Because equation degree is equal to = 5 - does not contain even numbers in the numerator, then
the equation has single real root.
Get the root 5-th degree of the equation sides:
We get:
$$\sqrt[5]{x^{5}} = \sqrt[5]{32}$$
or
$$x = 2$$
We get the answer: x = 2

All other 4 root(s) is the complex numbers.
do replacement:
$$z = x$$
then the equation will be the:
$$z^{5} = 32$$
Any complex number can presented so:
$$z = r e^{i p}$$
substitute to the equation
$$r^{5} e^{5 i p} = 32$$
where
$$r = 2$$
- the magnitude of the complex number
Substitute r:
$$e^{5 i p} = 1$$
Using Euler’s formula, we find roots for p
$$i \sin{\left(5 p \right)} + \cos{\left(5 p \right)} = 1$$
so
$$\cos{\left(5 p \right)} = 1$$
and
$$\sin{\left(5 p \right)} = 0$$
then
$$p = \frac{2 \pi N}{5}$$
where N=0,1,2,3,...
Looping through the values of N and substituting p into the formula for z
Consequently, the solution will be for z:
$$z_{1} = 2$$
$$z_{2} = - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} - 2 i \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{8} + \frac{5}{8}}$$
$$z_{3} = - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} + 2 i \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{8} + \frac{5}{8}}$$
$$z_{4} = - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} - \frac{1}{2} - 2 i \sqrt{\frac{5}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{8}}$$
$$z_{5} = - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} - \frac{1}{2} + 2 i \sqrt{\frac{5}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{8}}$$
do backward replacement
$$z = x$$
$$x = z$$

The final answer:
$$x_{1} = 2$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} - 2 i \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{8} + \frac{5}{8}}$$
$$x_{3} = - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} + 2 i \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{8} + \frac{5}{8}}$$
$$x_{4} = - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} - \frac{1}{2} - 2 i \sqrt{\frac{5}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{8}}$$
$$x_{5} = - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} - \frac{1}{2} + 2 i \sqrt{\frac{5}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{8}}$$
