Answer

Given,

⇒ 8x2 - 14x + 3 = 0

⇒ 8x2 - 12x - 2x + 3 = 0

⇒ 4x(2x - 3) - 1(2x - 3) = 0

⇒ (4x - 1)(2x - 3) = 0

⇒ 4x - 1 = 0 or 2x - 3 = 0

⇒ 4x = 1 or 2x = 3

⇒ x = 14\dfrac{1}{4} or x = 32\dfrac{3}{2}.

(i) Since, there is no integer in the solution,

Hence, no solution.

(ii) Here, x ∈ Q

Hence, x = 14,32\dfrac{1}{4}, \dfrac{3}{2}.
