3m^2=16m-21

Solution for 3m^2=16m-21 equation:

3m^2=16m-21

We move all terms to the left:

3m^2-(16m-21)=0

We get rid of parentheses

3m^2-16m+21=0

a = 3; b = -16; c = +21;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -162-4·3·21
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)-2}{2*3}=\frac{14}{6}
=2+1/3
$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)+2}{2*3}=\frac{18}{6}
=3
