algebraically, but I'm not sure what the last step is. Like how to show the answer. So here's the answer I got... -3x^2-2x+1<0
x=(2+or-sqrt(4+12))/(2*-3)
= (2+or-sqrt(16))/(-6)

:
x =%282%2Bor-4%29%2F%28-6%29
You are right but at this point, I would separate the two solutions:
x = %282-4%29%2F%28-6%29
x = %28-2%29%2F%28-6%29
x = +1%2F3
and
x = %282+%2B+4%29%2F%28-6%29
x = 6%2F%28-6%29
x = -1


x=-1 or =1/3
