There are two solutions to the equation $3x^2+5x=-3x-4$.

The first solution is $x=-5/6-\sqrt{73}/6$. To find this solution, we can use the quadratic formula:

$$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$

In this case, $a=3$, $b=5$, and $c=-4$. Substituting these values into the quadratic formula, we get:

$$x = \dfrac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2 - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot -4}}{2 \cdot 3}$$

$$x = \dfrac{-5 \pm \sqrt{73}}{6}$$

The second solution is $x=-5/6+\sqrt{73}/6$. This solution can be found by using the fact that the quadratic formula always gives two solutions, one negative and one positive.

Therefore, the two solutions to the equation $3x^2+5x=-3x-4$ are $x=-5/6-\sqrt{73}/6$ and $x=-5/6+\sqrt{73}/6$.

3x2+5x= -3x-4
6+5x=-3x-4
5x+3x=-4-6
8x=-10

x=-10/8=-1.25 (i think)

(so sorry if i’m wrong!!!!!)
