1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the equation 3x(x2)+4=63x(x-2) + 4 = 6 for xx. This involves expanding the expression, simplifying to a quadratic equation, and then solving for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, expand the left side of the equation:
3x(x2)+4=63x(x-2) + 4 = 6
3x26x+4=63x^2 - 6x + 4 = 6
Next, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to set it equal to 0:
3x26x+46=663x^2 - 6x + 4 - 6 = 6 - 6
3x26x2=03x^2 - 6x - 2 = 0
Now, we use the quadratic formula to solve for xx. The quadratic formula is:
x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
In our equation, a=3a=3, b=6b=-6, and c=2c=-2. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
x=(6)±(6)24(3)(2)2(3)x = \frac{-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4(3)(-2)}}{2(3)}
x=6±36+246x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36 + 24}}{6}
x=6±606x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{60}}{6}
x=6±4156x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{4 \cdot 15}}{6}
x=6±2156x = \frac{6 \pm 2\sqrt{15}}{6}
x=3±153x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{15}}{3}

3. Final Answer

x=3+153x = \frac{3 + \sqrt{15}}{3} or x=3153x = \frac{3 - \sqrt{15}}{3}
