Your third step it should be x² + 5x - 14 instead of x² - 2x - 14. But your fourth step is correct.

You can leave it in whole numbers and fractions.


x = (7 + √121)/6 or x = (7 - √121)/6

x = (7 + 11)/6 or x = (7 - 11)/6

x = 18/6 = 3 or x = -4/6 = -⅔


Alternatively, realise that when
3x² - 7x + 6 = 0,

(3x + 2)(x - 3) = 0 (this is done using the cross method of factorisation or by visual inspection)

3x - 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

3x = 2 or x = 3

x = ⅔
