solve the equation for x using the quadratic formula:
3x^2 + 8x + 1 = 0
Work:
I tried factoring it, but I can't do it.
(3x + ?)(x + ?)
I'm thinking the ? = 1 but that won't work.

The problem says to solve it using the quadratic formula? Why are you trying to factor it?
Ahh wait I got it. I was thinking something weird. I jus thave to plug it in
3x^2-8x+1=0
