- step 1
- step 2
- step 3
- step 4
- step 5
- reduce to #0#
- determine number of solutions
- calculate discriminant
- determine #a#, #b# and #c#
- determine solutions
- #6\cdot s^2-2\cdot s-3=0#
- #D \gt 0#, hence, there are #2# solutions
- #D=76#
- #a=6#, #b=-2# and #c=-3#
- #s={{1-\sqrt{19}}\over{6}} \lor s={{\sqrt{19}+1}\over{6}}#
