You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given only this: 3n2+%2B+7N+=16

Is this a system? No, not really. A system is commonly thought to be more than one equation or inequality in which all the variables are related to a situation.

"this is my question, 3n2+%2B+7N+=+16"
What question? That is merely an equation. To be perfectly logical, your equation has TWO variables, not just one variable. Usually, n%3C%3EN. If you mean these to be the same, then decide which case-level you want and use it.

You have a character, "2" sitting on the right hand side of the first term, which you likely did not mean as a factor, but probably meant as an exponent, so you may want to show, 3n%5E2%2B7N=16.

Please clarify what you want?

----------
In case you wanted to express a quadratic equation, and the variables are supposed to be the same, say p=n=N, then you could have 3p%5E2%2B7p=16
3p%5E2%2B7p-16=0
Attempts at factoring do not seem to work, so use solution to quadratic formula:
highlight%28p=%28-7%2B-+sqrt%28241%29%29%2F6%29
