You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x%5E2%2B8x%2B3=0
:
you have to use the quadratic formula to solve this:
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
:
In this equation: a=1; b=8; c=3
x+=+%28-8+%2B-+sqrt%28+8%5E2+-+4+%2A+1+%2A+3+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
Solve this, two neg non-integer solutions
