Factor the equation first.9x^2 + 21x - 8 = 0 → (3x - 1) (3x + 8) = 0Set both factors to zero: (3x - 1) = 0(3x + 8) = 0Now solve for x:(3x - 1) = 03x = 1 x = 1/3(3x + 8) = 03x = -8x = -(8/3) or - 2.6667Always plug the answers you get BACK into the equation as a check!Best of luck in your studies,~ Mitch ~....
