Answer:
The roots are -1/3 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:
First we wpild need to put the equation in the standard form which is as follows:
ax² + bx + c = 0
This can be done as follows:
3x² + 7x + 8 = 6
3x² + 7x + 8 - 6 = 0
3x² + 7x + 2 = 0
By comparison:
a = 3
b = 7
c = 2

Now, to get the roots, we would need to use the quadratic formula shown in the attached image.

By substitution, we would find that:
either x =
(-7+ √((7)^2-4(3)(2)) )/(2(3)) = - (1)/(3)

or x =
(-7- √((7)^2-4(3)(2)) )/(2(3)) = -2

Hope this helps :)
