Find all values of x such that 3x^2 14x 8 = 0. If you find more than one value, then list your solutions, separated by commas.
We can factor the quadratic equation 3x^2 + 14x + 8 as follows:
(3x + 2)(x - 4) = 0
This means that either 3x + 2 = 0 or x - 4 = 0. Solving for x in each case, we get x = -4/3 or x = 4. Therefore, the solutions to the equation 3x^2 + 14x + 8 = 0 are x = -4/3, 4.

My monitor isn't displaying the signs between terms.
I'm assuming that they should have been plus signs.
Like this
3x2 + 14x + 8 = 0
Factor the equation
(3x + 2)(x + 4) = 0
Set each factor = zero
3x + 2 = 0 which means x = –3/2
x + 4 = 0 which means x = –4
Separated by commas
x = (–3/2, –4)
If the polarity of 14x was
supposed to be negative,
and polarity of 8 positive,
then change the minuses
in the answer to pluses.
