-3x%882+-+6x+%2B+2.......use quadratic formula to solve for x

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+..note that a=-3, b=-6 and c=2

x+=+%28-%28-6%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-6%29%5E2-4%2A%28-3%29%2A2+%29%29%2F%282%2A%28-3%29%29+

x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+36%2B24+%29%29%2F-6+
x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%2860+%29%29%2F-6+
x+=+%286+%2B-+7.75%29%2F-6+
solutions:
x+=+%286+%2B+7.75%29%2F-6+
x+=+%2813.75%29%2F-6+
x+=+-2.29+
or
x+=+%286+-7.75%29%2F-6+
x+=+%28-1.75%29%2F-6+
x+=+0.029+
