Hello,

If we want to factor the expression, we have to solve

3x² + 10x + 8 = 0

a = 3 ; b = 10 ; c = 8

∆ = b² - 4ac = 10² - 4 × 3 × 8 = 4 > 0

x1 = (-b - √∆)/2a = (-10 - 2)/6 = -12/6 = -2

x2 = (-b + √∆)/2a = (-10 + 2)/6 = -8/6 = -4/3

Factor :

a (x - x1)(x - x2)

= 3(x + 2)(x + 4/3)

= (x + 2)(3x + 4)
