Solve 3x2 - 7x + 2 = 0

x = 1, x = 2/3
x = -1, x = 2/3
x = 0, x = -2/3
x = 1, x = -2/3

The correct answer is: x = 1, x = -2/3

The quadratic equation given is in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0. To solve for x, we can use the quadratic formula, which is x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. In this case, a = 3, b = -7, and c = 2. Plugging in these values, we get x = (7 ± √(49 - 24)) / 6. Simplifying the square root gives us x = (7 ± √25) / 6, which gives us x = (7 ± 5) / 6. This means x can be equal to either (7 + 5) / 6 = 1 or (7 - 5) / 6 = 2/3. Therefore, the correct solution is x =
