Question 994128: (a)If the quadratic equation of 6x^2-7x=2k has two distinct real roots,
(i) find the range of possible values of k,
(ii) find the roots of the equation when k is the smallest integer in (a)(i)
(b) Using the result of (a)(ii), solve -3(x+p)^2+7/2(x+p)-5/6=0, where p is a constant. (give the answers in terms of p.)
