I'm assuming that the equation is %283x%5E2-2%29%2F6=0 (it's very hard to read)


%283x%5E2-2%29%2F6=0 Start with the given equation.


3x%5E2-2=6%2A0 Multiply both sides by 6.


3x%5E2-2=0 Multiply.


3x%5E2=0%2B2Add 2 to both sides.


3x%5E2=2 Combine like terms.


x%5E2=%282%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3.


x=%22%22%2B-sqrt%282%2F3%29 Take the square root of both sides.


x=sqrt%282%2F3%29 or x=-sqrt%282%2F3%29 Break up the "plus/minus" to form two equations.


x=sqrt%286%29%2F3 or x=-sqrt%286%29%2F3 Simplify the square root.

Answer:


So the solutions are x=%28sqrt%286%29%29%2F%283%29 or x=-%28sqrt%286%29%29%2F%283%29.
