Solve the equation by factoring: 3x^2 + 22x - 16 = 0

The equation given in the question is

3x^2 + 22x - 16 = 0

3x^2 + 24x - 2x - 16 = 0

3x (x + 8) - 2 (x + 8) = 0

(3x - 2) (x + 8) = 0

Then either

3x - 2 = 0

3x = 2

x = 2/3

Or

x + 8 = 0

x = - 8

So from the above deduction, we can conclude that the value of "x" cam be either 2/3 or - 8.
