Answer:
x = -0.18046, 1.84713
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we cannot factor the quadratic, we need to use quadratic formula ([tex]x = \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]):
a = 3
b = -5
c = -1
[tex]x = \frac{-(-5) +/- \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(3)(-1)} }{2(3)}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{5+/- \sqrt{25 + 12} }{6}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{5+/- \sqrt{37} }{6}[/tex]
