Answer

The solution set is: $\left\{-2, \frac{4}{3}\right\}$.

Work Step by Step

Subtract $8$ to both sides: $3x^2+2x-8=0$ Factor the trinomial: $(3x-4)(x+2)=0$ Equate each factor to zero then solve each equation: $3x-4 = 0 \text{ or } x+2 = 0 \\3x=4 \text{ or } x=-2 \\x =\frac{4}{3} \text{ or } x = -2$
