Answer

$x= .808, -6.808$

Work Step by Step

$2x^2+12x-11=0$ $x=(-b±\sqrt b^2-4ac)/2a$ $x=(-12±\sqrt 12^2-4*2*-11)/2*2$ $x=(-12±\sqrt 144+88)/4$ $x=(-12±\sqrt 232)/4$ $x=(-12±2\sqrt 58)/4$ $x=(-6±\sqrt 58)/2$ $x=(-6±7.616)/2$ $x=(-6+7.616)/2$ $x=(1.616)/2$ $x=.808$ $x=(-6-7.616)/2$ $x=(-13.616)/2$ $x=-6.808$
