The correct answer is: x3+3x2-112=0

Putting y=α-βα-γ, we get, 
y=α2-αβ+γ+βγ
Now, α+β+γ=0 and αβγ=-2
y=α2-α-α+-2α
=2α2-2α=2α3-1α
Also, α is a root of the given equation.
α3=-α-2
y=2-α-2-1α=2-α-3α=-2-6α
y+2=-6αα=-6y+2
α is a root of the given equation

-6y+23+-6y+2+2=0
-216-6y+22+2y+23=0
y+23-3y+22-108=0
y3+6y2+12y+8-3y2-12-12y-108=0
y3+3y2-112=0
Hence, the required equation is x3+3x2-112=0
