Question 623011
using quadratic formula solve; 6x^-7x-2=0
I have a=6,b=-7,c=-2 but I end up with an answer; 7+-square root of 97 all divided by 12 
I cannot simplify the square root 97 and the question asks for the answer in simplest exact values

You did  the problem correctly and got the right answers.
Leaving the answer in exact values means leaving the answer in radical form:
x=(7±√97)/12
x=(7+√97)/12 or (7-√97)/12
