Let z = 3x+2. Then, by substitution, your equation is
.. z^2 +7z -8 = 0
_____
This equation can be factored as
.. (z +8)(z -1) = 0
.. x = -8 or +1
Then
.. 3x +2 = -8 or +1
.. 3x = -10 or -1
.. x = -10/3 or -1/3
The equation we are looking at would have to be divided by 2 first.
x²-6x+3
When looking at that, I can tell that 1 may be the possible answer since you would have to subtract 6 from both sides. That would leave a 3. Let's check.
(x-3)(x-3)
x²-6x+9=6
Now subtract 6 from both sides.
x²-6x+3=0
So, 1- (x-3)²=6 would be used.
Standard form =
ax + by = c
y = -5x + 3
Add 5x to both sides.
5x + y = 3
And this is your answer.
To round it to the nearest hundreth, round the 6 to the nearest number. 1-4 means round to the lowest number in the chart. 6-10 means round to the nearest number above the current number. The answer would be 4.7
