Re-write it in the form that the "quadratic formula" can use and solve using it.

basically what he said. In case you don't know how to rewrite it in the form of quadratic formula which you should but if you don't you just need to bring everything to the left side and make it equal to 0. so your equation looks like

6x^2 + 20x - 385 = 0

Now you can easily use your quadratic equation which you should know and if you don't know then look it up in your textbook or on the internet and simply plug in your numbers and you'll get the answer. Very simple
