-10x

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cubic root of -1000x^3.

-1000 and x^3 are both perfect cubic numbers so it will be fairly simple to figure out the answer to this problem.

root(3){-1000} = -10 because -10 times -10 times -10 = -1000
root(3){x^3} = x because x times x times x = x^3

Therefore our answer is -10x.
