    The quadratic formula is shown below:

    x = (-b±√ (b^2-4ac)) / 2a

    You have the equation 3x^2+5x+2 = 0; so "a", "b" and "c" are:

    a = 3

    b = 5

    c = 2

    When you substitute a=3, b=5 and c=2 in the Quadratic Formula, you get two roots:

    x = (-5±√1) / 6

    x1 = (-5+1) / 6 = - 2/3

    x2 = (-5-1) / 6 = - 1

    The correct answer is "B":

    x = - 2/3, - 1
