Solve the equation by using the Quadratic Formula.

12⁢𝑥^2−22⁢𝑥+6=0

Simplify your solutions. If the solutions are real rational numbers, list from least to greatest separated by a comma. If the solutions are not real numbers, write your answer in the form a ± bi. If the solutions are irrational, write your answer in simplified radical form, using ± to express both solutions.

Use the quadratic formula x = [−b ± sqrt(b^2 − 4ac)]/(2a) with a=12, b=−22, c=6:

x = [22 ± sqrt( (-22)^2 − 4·12·6 )]/(24) = [22 ± sqrt(484 − 288)]/24 = [22 ± sqrt(196)]/24 = [22 ± 14]/24.

Thus the solutions are (22−14)/24 = 8/24 = 1/3 and (22+14)/24 = 36/24 = 3/2.

Answer: 1/3, 3/2
