Explanation: First we would need to put the equation in standard form which is as follows: ax² + bx + c = 0 This can be done as follows: 9x² + 6x + 1 = 8 Subtract 8 from both sides and combine like terms to reach the following: 9x² + 6x - 7 = 0 By comparison: a = 9 b = 6 c = -7
Now, to get the roots, we would need to use the quadratic formula attached in the images.
