Answer:

x = -4 ± 3√2

Explanation:

You want the roots of y = 3x² +24x -6.

Roots

We can find the roots by completing the square.

0 = 3(x² +8x -2) . . . . . . factor out common factor

2 = x² +8x . . . . . . . . divide by 3, add 2

18 = x² +8x +16 . . . . add (8/2)² to complete the square

±√18 = x +4 . . . . . . . square root

x = -4 ± 3√2 . . . . . . subtract 4

The roots of the equation are -4 ± 3√2.
