Start with the given equation

Subtract 7 from both sides

Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

Starting with the general quadratic

the general solution using the quadratic equation is:

So lets solve ( notice , , and )

Plug in a=6, b=7, and c=-7

Square 7 to get 49

Multiply to get

Combine like terms in the radicand (everything under the square root)

Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying the square root, check out this solver)

Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12

So now the expression breaks down into two parts

or

Now break up the fraction

or

Simplify

or

So these expressions approximate to

or

So our solutions are:
or

Notice when we graph , we get:

when we use the root finder feature on a calculator, we find that and .So this verifies our answer
