7x^{2}=7-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
7x^{2}=4
Subtract 3 from 7 to get 4.
x^{2}=\frac{4}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{7}}{7} x=-\frac{2\sqrt{7}}{7}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
7x^{2}+3-7=0
Subtract 7 from both sides.
7x^{2}-4=0
Subtract 7 from 3 to get -4.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 7\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 7}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 7 for a, 0 for b, and -4 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 7\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 7}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-28\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 7}
Multiply -4 times 7.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{112}}{2\times 7}
Multiply -28 times -4.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{7}}{2\times 7}
Take the square root of 112.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{7}}{14}
Multiply 2 times 7.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{7}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{7}}{14} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{2\sqrt{7}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{7}}{14} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{7}}{7} x=-\frac{2\sqrt{7}}{7}
The equation is now solved.
