Answer

$-36$ and 15.

Work Step by Step

The sum of the solutions is$-12$. Apply the formula to find the sum: $\begin{align} & -12=-\frac{-h}{3} \\ & -12=\frac{h}{3} \\ & h=-36 \end{align}$ Apply the formula to find the sum: $\begin{align} & 20=\frac{4k}{3} \\ & 20\left( 3 \right)=4k \\ & 60=4k \end{align}$ Multiply by $\frac{1}{4}$ to get: $\begin{align} & \frac{60}{4}=\frac{4k}{4} \\ & 15=k \end{align}$ Therefore, the values of h and k in the equation $3{{x}^{2}}-hx+4k=0$ are $-36$ and 15.
