3tan^2θ + tanθ = 4 and cos^2θ = 5 + 8 cos θ?

I'm sure if someone could explain it to me I would get it but my teacher has a heavy accent and I can't understand too well.

Again the problems are

3 tan^2 θ + tan θ = 4

and

cos^2 θ = 5 + 8 cos θ

    just pretend

    3x^2+x-4=0

    (3x+4)(x-1)=0

    3 tan θ + 4 =0 tanθ =-4/3

    tan θ -1= 0 tan θ = -1

    Look at your chart to find theta
