You have a quadratic equation:  It can be solved using the "Quadratic Formula"  Are you familiar with the Quadratic Formula?

Another method is "Completing the square" which also can be use.  A third method can sometimes be used called "factor method" and in this case can not be used.

@miles19 have you solved this yet?

The standard form for a quadratic equation is: $$Ax ^{2}+Bx +C=0$$Where A and B are the coefficients of the x^2 and x term respectively and C is the constant.  First step is to express your equation in the standard form$$3x ^{2}-13x + 19=0$$Where:
A=3
B=-13
C=19
