Using the method of splitting the middle term, it can be written as

OR
(taking out -ve sign common from the last two terms)
OR
(Taking out '4x' common from first two & '3' from last two terms)
Now (3x+4) is common in both terms, so the above expression can be written as
( 3x+4 )( 4x-3 )
these are the factors of the given expression
we can now find its roots by equating the factors with ZERO
i.e. 3x + 4 = 0
which gives x = -4/3
& 4x - 3 = 0
which gives x = 3/4
So the roots are -4/3 & 3/4
