Answer:
x = {-2 5/6, +2}
Step-by-step explanation:
To use the quadratic formula, it is helpful to write the equation in standard form.
(2x +1)(3x +1) = 35
6x^2 +5x -34 = 0 . . . . . . . subtract 35 and simplify. a=6, b=5, c=-34
The quadratic formula tells you the values of x are ...
[tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{5^2-4(6)(-34)}}{2(6)}\\\\=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{841}}{12}=\dfrac{-5\pm29}{12}\\\\\boxed{x=\left\{-\dfrac{17}{6},2\right\}}[/tex]
