I am in the beginning half of college algebra and have one question I am having a hard time finding a solution to:
Use the quadratic formula to solve: 3x^2 - 5x = -8
As far as I get is (V symbolizing the squareroot):
3x^2 - 5x + 8 = 0
x = (5 + -V-5^2 - (4*3*8)) / 2*3
x = (5 + -V25 - 96)/6
x = (5 + -V-71)/6
This is as far as I can get but can't find any real solution. Any help would be appreciated.
