3x%5E2-8x%2B2=0
x%5E2-%288%2F3%29x%2B2%2F3=0
%28x%5E2-%288%2F3%29x%2B%2816%2F9%29%29%2B2%2F3-16%2F9=0
%28x-%284%2F3%29%29%5E2%2B6%2F9-16%2F9=0
%28x-%284%2F3%29%29%5E2-10%2F9=0
%28x-%284%2F3%29%29%5E2=10%2F9+
x-%284%2F3%29=0+%2B-+sqrt%2810%29%2F3+
x=%284%2F3%29+%2B-+sqrt%2810%29%2F3+ or approximately
x1=0.279
x2=2.387
