I'd suggest using the quadratic formula. If the equation is expressed as ax^2 + bx + c = 0, then x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. Here, a = 3, b = -8, and c = 3. So x = (8 +/- sqrt(8^2 - 4*3*3)) / (2*3) = (8 +/- sqrt(64 - 36)) / 6 = (8 +/- sqrt(28)) / 6 = (8 +/- 2*sqrt(7)) / 6 = (4 +/- sqrt(7)) / 3 = 4/3 + (1/3)sqrt(7) or 4/3 - (1/3)sqrt(7).

There is a formula in Vedic Mathematics which lets us solve a quadratic equation....
Therefore if ax^2+bx+c=0 is the quadratic equation then the formula for the roots of the equation are
x1=((-b)+(sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)))/(2*a)
x2=((-b)-(sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)))/(2*a)
where x1,x2 are the 2 roots of the equation......
In your case b=8,a=3,c=3...So substitute and find the roots...

by completing the square:
3x^2 - 8x = -3
x^2 - 8/3x = -1
divide the term with x by two then square the result.
x^2 - 8/3x + 16/9 = -1 + 16/9
(x - 4/3)^2 = 7/9
x - 4/3 = + or - (sqrt 7)/3
therefore: x = (4 + sqrt 7) / 3 and x = (4 - sqrt 7 ) / 3.
they are irrational.

Use the quadratic formula. In an equation Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0, we can take x = [-B +/- sqrt(B^2 - 4AC)]/(2A).
So x = 8 +/- sqrt(64-36) / 6. So simplifying gives:
4 +/- sqrt(7)

3(x^2 - 8/3x + 1) = 0
x^2 - 8/3x + (8/6)^2 - (8/6)^2 + 1 = 0
(x - 8/6)^2 - (64 - 36)/36 = 0
(x - 8/6)^2 - 28/36 = 0
(x - 8/6 - sqrt28/6)(x - 8/6 + sqrt28/6) = 0
x = 8/6 + sqrt28/6
x = 8/6 - sqrt28/6

ax^2 + bx + c = 0
3x^2 - 8x + 3 = 0
the quadratic formula is ( -b +or- sq rt of b^2 - 4ac) divided by 2a
so,
8+or- sq rt (-8)^2-4(3)(3)
---------------------------------
2(3)
8+or- sq rt 28

There is no whole number as an answer in this.
By using a calculator, x=2.215 or x=0.45
