Impossible

Explanation:

We 'assume' that n is an integer. This means 2n is always an even integer.
The left hand side term is $-1^(2n)$ this is always equal to 1.
Or if we read the left hand term differently as $-(1^(2n))$ , then the term is always -1.
The right hand term is $1^3$ + $5^8$ which is way bigger than 1 or -1
So in both interpretations of -1^2n the question has no solution for n.
