Answer:

[tex] x = \dfrac{-4 \pm \sqrt{37}}{3} [/tex]

x = 0.69  or  x = -3.36

Step-by-step explanation:

3j² + 8j − 7 = 0

[tex] x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} [/tex]

a = 3

b = 8

c = -7

[tex] x = \dfrac{-8 \pm \sqrt{8^2 - 4(3)(-7)}}{2(3)} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-8 \pm \sqrt{64 + 84}}{6} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-8 \pm \sqrt{148}}{6} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-8 \pm 2\sqrt{37}}{6} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-4 \pm \sqrt{37}}{3} [/tex]

x = 0.69  or  x = -3.36
