solve (7a^2-3a+14)+(9a^2+11a)
------------
Yours is not an equation so it cannot be "solved".
---------------
It can be simplified by adding like terms:
= 16a^2 + 8a + 14

7a^2-3a+14
9a^2+11a add.
-------------
16a^2+8a+14
2(8a^2+4a+7)
a=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29
a=(-4+-sqrt[4^2-4*8*7])/2*8
a=(-4+-sqrt[16-224])/16
a=(-4+-sqrt-208)/16
a=(-4+-14.42i)/16
a=-4/16 +-14.42i/16
a=-.25 +-.90139 ans.
