When you are solving a quadratic equation, make it equal to 0.
x = (4+sqrt88)/6 or x= (4-sqrt88)/6

Explanation:

3x^2 - 4x - 6 = 0 " " rArr a = 3, b = -4, c = -6

x = [-b +-sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/(2a)

x = [-(-4) +-sqrt((-4)^2 - 4(3)(-6))]/(2(3))

x = [4 +-sqrt(16 + 72)]/(6)

x = (4+sqrt88)/6 or x= (4-sqrt88)/6
