Solve by using the quadratic formula.
3x^2=11x+4
3X^2-11X-4=0.....COMPARING WITH ..AX^2+BX+C=0....
A=3........B=-11.....C=-4
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%2811+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-11%29%5E2-4%2A3%2A%28-4%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A3%29+
x+=+%2811+%2B-+sqrt%28+121%2B48+%29%29%2F%286%29+
x+=+%2811+%2B-+sqrt%28+169+%29%29%2F%286%29+
X=(11+13)/6=4......OR
X=(11-13)/6=-2/6=-1/3
