$X = 1.387 , -0.720$

$D = b^2 - 4ac$

$-> (-2)^2 -4 xx 3 xx -3$

$D = 40$

Now..

$X = ((-b) +- sqrt D)/(2a)$

$-> X = (-(-2) +- sqrt 40)/(2×3)$

$:. x = (2 +- 6.324)/6$

$-> x = 8.324/6$ $or$ $x= - 4.324/6$

$:.$ $X = 1.387 , -0.720$

Use the $B^2 - 4AC = D$

then $x1 ; x2 = (- B +- sqrt(D))/(2A)$

When $A= 3, B = -2, C = -3$

$D = 4 + 36$

$D = 40$

$x1 = (2+sqrt(40))/6$

$x2 = (2-sqrt(40))/6$
