Use the quadratic formula to solve 9t2+12t23=0.\displaystyle {9}{t}^{{2}}+{12}{t}-{23}={0}.

You will get two answers, t1\displaystyle {t}_{{1}} and t2\displaystyle {t}_{{2}} where t1<t2.\displaystyle {t}_{{1}}<{t}_{{2}}. Enter those solutions in the boxes below, with t1\displaystyle {t}_{{1}} in the left box and t2\displaystyle {t}_{{2}} in the right box. Your answers must have your radicals simplified as much as possible. For example, if t=5±154\displaystyle {t}=\frac{{-{5}\pm\sqrt{{{15}}}}}{{4}} you enter

(-5-sqrt(15))/4 on the left and (-5+sqrt(15))/4 on the right.
