MATLAB - Solve for x --> Explicit solution cannot be found.

Hi,

I need to find "x", from the following equation:

     a^2/E = d*g*x^(2*b) + f*g*x^b + d*h*x^(c+b) + f*h*x^c

Absolutely all parameters are known except "x". The powers c and b are known as well, but they have the following values:

     b = -0.9280
     c = -0.5596

I can give the other values as well, but I don't believe they are relevant... If you want to try a code just make them equal to 5,6,7,8 and etc...

I already tried with:

    sym x
    y = solve('equation',x)

but it gives me:

    Explicit solution cannot be found.

Cheers!

b = -0.9280;
c = -0.5596;
const = num2cell(1:6);
[a,d,E,f,g,h] = const{:};

syms x
out = solve(d*g*x^(2*b) + f*g*x^b + d*h*x^(c+b) + f*h*x^c - a^2/E,x)
