You wouldn't. I wouldn't. Nobody would. You can't "solve" something that doesn't have an equals (or inequality) sign. Now if you really meant how do you factor it, that I could answer. Too bad that isn't the question you asked.

solve 9x^2 - 18x + 8 = 0
---
Use the Quadratic Function:
---
x = [18 +- sqrt(18^2-4*9*8)]/18
---
x = [18 +- sqrt(36)]/18
---
x = [18+6]/18 or x = [18-6]/18
---
x = 4/3 or x = 2/3
