The equation given in the question is
3x^2 + 22x - 16 = 0
3x^2 + 24x - 2x - 16 = 0
3x(x + 8) - 2(x + 8) = 0
(3x - 2)(x + 8) = 0
Then either
3x - 2 = 0
3x = 2
x = 2/3
Or
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8
So from the above deduction, we can conclude that the value of "x" cam be either 2/3 or - 8.
I am pretty sure the answer would be 39.
(31 + 48/6)

Dang, You still waiting?
Step-by-step explanation:

So,
We are trying to figure out when Grandpa Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
Let x represent the number of years before/after when G. Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
66 + x = 2(37 + x)
Distribute.
66 + x = 74 + 2x
Subtract x from both sides.
66 = 74 + x
Subtract 74 from both sides.
-8 = x
So 8 years ago, G. Lopez was twice as old as Dad. Let's check that.
66 - 8 = 58
37 = 8 = 29
29 * 2 = 58
58 = 58
It checks.
