Answer

$\left\{\dfrac{1-\sqrt 2i}{3},\dfrac{1+\sqrt 2i}{3}\right\}$

Work Step by Step

We are given the equation: $3x^2-2x=-1$ Rewrite the equation in standard form: $3x^2-2x+1=0$ Use the quadratic formula: $x=\dfrac{2\pm\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(1)}}{2(3)}=\dfrac{2\pm 2\sqrt 2i}{6}=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt 2i}{3}$ The solution set is: $\left\{\dfrac{1-\sqrt 2i}{3},\dfrac{1+\sqrt 2i}{3}\right\}$
