x%5E2-7x%2B7=0
Use the quadratic formula,
x+=+%28-%28-7%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-7%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A7+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
x+=+%287+%2B-+sqrt%28+49-28+%29%29%2F%282%29+
Exact solutions:
x+=+%287+%2B-+sqrt%28+21+%29%29%2F%282%29+

Approximate solutions:
x%5B1%5D+=+%287+%2B+sqrt%28+21+%29%29%2F%282%29+
x%5B1%5D+=+%287+%2B+4.583%29%2F%282%29+
x%5B1%5D+=+%2811.583%29%2F%282%29+
