Answer:

x = 1.074

x = -0.931

Explanation:

The given expression is 7x² - x = 7

7x² - x - 7 = 0

Now we apply the quadratic formula in the given expression to find the value of x.

Since quadratic formula is


x=\frac{b\pm \sqrt{b^(2)-4ac}}{2a}

So we put the value of b = -1, a = 7 and c = -7

x
=\frac{+1\pm \sqrt{(-1)^(2)-4(7)(-7)}}{2(7))}


=(1\pm √(1+196))/(14)


=(1\pm √(197))/(14)


x=(1\pm 14.035)/(14)

x = 1.074

x = -0.931
