+2x%5E2+-+7x+%2B+6+=+0+
Use the quadratic formula
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
+a+=+2+
+b+=+-7+
+c+=+6+
x+=+%28-%28-7%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-7%29%5E2-4%2A2%2A6+%29%29%2F%282%2A2%29+
x+=+%28+7+%2B-+sqrt%28+49+-+48+%29%29+%2F+4+
+x+=+%28+7+%2B+1%29%2F4+
+x+=+2+
and, also
+x+=+%28+7+-+1+%29+%2F+4+
+x+=+3%2F2+
The roots are 2 and 3/2
