If I'm reading this properly. That's 3x squared.
The answer would be -1 + (sqrt33)/3 and -1 - (sqrt 33)/3.

Answer:

\(x=-1+\dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{3} , x=-1-\dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{3}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation:

\(3x^{2} +6x=8\)

means we have to find the value of 'x' after solving this quadratic equation

this equation could also be written as:

\(3x^{2}+6x-8=0\)

Also we know that for any quadratic equation of the type:

\(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)

The solution is given by:

\(x=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}} {2a} ,x=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}} {2a}\)

so on comparing our given equation to the general form we have:

a=3,b=6 and c= -8

so, the value of x is:

\(x=\dfrac{-6+\sqrt{36+32\times3} }{2\times 3} , x=\dfrac{-6-\sqrt{36+32\times3} }{2\times 3}\)

i.e.

\(x=\dfrac{-6+2\sqrt{33} }{6} ,x= \dfrac{-6-2\sqrt{33} }{6}\)

which could also be written as:

\(x=-1+\dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{3} , x=-1-\dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{3}\)

Hence the above two values of x is the desired result.
