Answer

Solution set: $\{ \frac{-2+\sqrt 10}{2}, \frac{-2-\sqrt 10}{2} \}$

Work Step by Step

$2x^{2} = 3-4x$ $2x^{2}+4x-3=0$ Using quadratic formula, $x= \frac{-b±\sqrt (b^{2}-4ac)}{2a}$ Substituting $a=2, b=4, c=-3$ $x= \frac{-4±\sqrt ((4)^{2}-4(2)(-3))}{2(2)}$ $x= \frac{-4±\sqrt (16+24)}{4}$ $x= \frac{-4±\sqrt 40}{4}$ $x= \frac{-4±\sqrt 4\times10 }{4}$ $x= \frac{-4±2\sqrt 10}{4}$ $x= \frac{2(-2±\sqrt 10)}{4}$ $x= \frac{(-2±\sqrt 10)}{2}$ $x= \frac{(-2+\sqrt 10)}{2}$ or $x= \frac{(-2-\sqrt 10)}{2}$
