Use the quadratic formula to solve for x

x+=+%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29

x+=+%28-%2811%29%2B-sqrt%28%2811%29%5E2-4%286%29%28-7%29%29%29%2F%282%286%29%29

x+=+%28-11%2B-sqrt%28121-%28-168%29%29%29%2F%2812%29

x+=+%28-11%2B-sqrt%28121%2B168%29%29%2F%2812%29

x+=+%28-11%2B-sqrt%28289%29%29%2F12

x+=+%28-11%2Bsqrt%28289%29%29%2F12 or x+=+%28-11-sqrt%28289%29%29%2F12

x+=+%28-11%2B17%29%2F12 or x+=+%28-11-17%29%2F12

x+=+6%2F12 or x+=+-28%2F12

x+=+1%2F2 or x+=+-7%2F3
