Solve for x:
3x%5E2-11x+=+4 Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
3x%5E2-11x-4+=+0 Solve this quadratic equation by factoring.
%283x%2B1%29%28x-4%29+=+0 Apply the zero product principle.
3x%2B1+=+0 and/or x-4+=+0
If 3x%2B1+=+0 then 3x+=+-1 and +x+=+-1%2F3
If x-4+=+0 then x+=+4
The solutions are:
x+=+-1%2F3
x+=+4
