The first thing you want to do is make this formula look nice. Take and multiply both sides by . This will give you:

.

This is a lot easier to look at, but keep in mind, x = 0 could be a problem.

To find the roots of this equation, use the quadratic formula:

.

Setting a = 3, b = -4 and c = -2, the quadratic formulat becomes:

.

So the roots of the equation are and . If you plug these numbers into a calculator you will see they work.
