Answer: -1 -3/4

Explanation:

1.Move terms to the left side

4x^{2}+3=-7x

4x^{2}+3-\left( -7x\right) =0

2.Rearrange terms

4x^{2}+3+7x=0

4x^{2}+7x+3=0

3.Use the quadratic formula

Once in standard form, identify a, b, and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.

4x^{2}+7x+3=0

4.Simplify

Evaluate the exponent

Multiply the numbers

Subtract the numbers

Evaluate the square root

Multiply the numbers

-7+1/8

5.Separate the equations

To solve for the unknown variable, separate into two equations: one with a plus and the other with a minus.

x=\frac{-7+1}{8}

x=\frac{-7-1}{8}

6.Solve

Rearrange and isolate the variable to find each solution

x=-\frac{3}{4}

x=-1
