Answer:

B) x =( 2/3, -1)

Explanation:

Equation:


6x {}^(2) + 2x = 4

Solution:

We know that,


\rm \: Quadratic \: formula (x)=\cfrac{-b\pm√(b^2-4ac)}{2a}

According to the problem,

  • a = 6
  • b = 2
  • c = -4

Plugging them on the formulae,we obtain,


  • x = \cfrac{ - 2 \pm \sqrt{ 2 {}^(2) - 4 \{6 * ( - 4) \} } }{2 * 6}


  • x = \cfrac{ - 2 \pm \: \sqrt{4 - 4 \{ - 24 \} } }{12}


  • x = \cfrac{ - 2 \pm \: 10 }{12}


  • x = \cfrac{ - 1 \pm5}{6}


  • \boxed{x = \cfrac{2}{3} \: \rm or - 1}

Choice B is accurate.
