Answer

$x=\displaystyle \frac{-5\pm\sqrt{37}}{6}$

Work Step by Step

$ 3x^{2}+5x=1\qquad$... add $-1$ to both sides. $ 3x^{2}+5x-1=0\qquad$... solve with the Quadratic formula. $x=\displaystyle \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ $x=\displaystyle \frac{-5\pm\sqrt{25+12}}{6}$ $x=\displaystyle \frac{-5\pm\sqrt{37}}{6}$
