Answer 1

x = 0.19 or x = -0.76

Explanation:

Equation: 7²-4x = 2

reordering the equation,

7x²-4x-2 = 0

Applying,

x = [-b±√(b²-4ac)]/2a..................... Equation 1

From the question,

Given: a = 7, b = -4, c = -2

Substitute these values into equation 1

x = [-4±√(-4²-(2×7×-2)]/(2×7)

x = [-4±√(16+28)]/14

x = (-4±√44)/14

Either

x = (-4+√44)/14

x = (-4+6.63)/14

x = 2.63/14

x = 0.19

or

x = (-4-√44)/14

x = (-4-6.63)/14

x = -10.63/14

x = -0.76
