Hero:

The Quadratic Formula for a quadratic equation having the form \(a^2 + bx + c = 0\) is \(x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}\)

Hero:

In this case \(a = 3, b = -8, c = 2\). If you plug those numbers in to the quadratic formula, you'll end up with: \(x = \dfrac{-(-8) \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 -4(3)(2)}}{2(2)}\) @kylieisweird101 would you mind attempting to simplify this?
