Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:


n^2+3n-7=2

Subtract 2 from both sides:


n^2+3n-9=0

Using the quadratic formula:


n=(-3\pm√(9+36))/(2)=(-3\pm √(45))/(2)=(-3\pm 3√(5))/(2)

I agree with you on the answer, have you tried both adding and subtracting the root? That is important, because there are two solutions to this problem. Feel free to discuss more and I can try to help!
