Answer

$x=-12$ $x={\dfrac{-8}{3}}$

Work Step by Step

$x=\dfrac{-b±{\sqrt {b^{2}-4ac}}}{2a}$ and $3x^{2}+44x+96=0$.Therefore, $a=3$,$b=44$ and $c=96$ Substitute the values: $x=\dfrac{-44±{\sqrt {44^{2}-4(3)(96)}}}{2(3)}$ =$\dfrac{-44±{\sqrt {1936-1152}}}{6}$ =$\dfrac{-44± {\sqrt {784}}}{6}$ =$\dfrac{-44±28}{6}$ Separate the equation into plus and minus equations: $x=\dfrac{-44-28}{6}=-12$ $x=\dfrac{-44+28}{6}={\dfrac{-8}{3}}$
