3*t  - 28*t + 9 = 0
$$\left(3 t^{2} - 28 t\right) + 9 = 0$$
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*t^2 + b*t + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$t_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$t_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 3$$
$$b = -28$$
$$c = 9$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-28)^2 - 4 * (3) * (9) = 676

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
t1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

t2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$t_{1} = 9$$
$$t_{2} = \frac{1}{3}$$
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$\left(3 t^{2} - 28 t\right) + 9 = 0$$
of
$$a t^{2} + b t + c = 0$$
as reduced quadratic equation
$$t^{2} + \frac{b t}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0$$
$$t^{2} - \frac{28 t}{3} + 3 = 0$$
$$p t + q + t^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = - \frac{28}{3}$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 3$$
Vieta Formulas
$$t_{1} + t_{2} = - p$$
$$t_{1} t_{2} = q$$
$$t_{1} + t_{2} = \frac{28}{3}$$
$$t_{1} t_{2} = 3$$
Rapid solution [src]
