Question

Solve for x. Write both solution, separated by a comma. 9x^2+6x-8=0

Answer 1

x₁ = -4/3

x₂ = 2/3

Explanation:

9x² + 6x - 8 = 0

9x² + 12x - 6x - 8 = 0

3xx(3x + 4) - 6x - 8 = 0

3xx(3x + 4) - 2(3x + 4) = 0

(3x + 4) × (3x - 2) = 0

3x + 4 = 0 → x = -4/3

3x - 2 = 0 → x = 2/3

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

x = -4/3, 2/3

Explanation:

Step 1: Factor

(3x + 4)(3x - 2) = 0

Step 2: Find roots

3x + 4 = 0

3x = -4

x = -4/3

3x - 2 = 0

3x = 2

x = 2/3
