First of all ... let's make sure you understand what the question is. With examples like

that one, the question is usually: "What value of 'x' makes the statement true ?" .

3x + 14x + 8 = 0

Combine like terms:

17x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from each side:

17x = -8

Divide each side by 17:

x = -8/17

That's the only value of 'x' that makes the original statement true.

In case you meant 3x2 + 14x + 8, that factors to (x + 4)(3x + 2)

x = -4, 2/3
