x = 1/3 or 4/3
So the product of the solutions is 4/3 * 1/3 = 4/9

2Xsquared+ 8/9 = 3 1/3 x
2X^2-3 1/3X+8/9=0
2X^2-10X/3+8/9=0
X=(10/3+-SQRT[-10/3^2-4*2*8/9])/2*2
X=(10/3+-SQRT[100/9-64/9])/4
X=(10/3+-SQRT[36/9])/4
X=(10/3+-SQRT4)/4
X=(10/3+-2)/4
X=(10/3+2)/4
X=([10+6]/3)/4
X=(16/3)/4
X=16/3*1/4
X=16/12
X=4/3 ANS.
X=(10/3-2)/4
X=([10-6]/3)/4
X=(4/3)/4
X=4/3*1/4
X=4/12
X=1/3 ANS.
