Question

$$\frac{x^{2}-3x}{7}+x=11;$$

Answer

x=7,-11

Solution


Factor out the common term \(x\).
\[\frac{x(x-3)}{7}+x=11\]
Multiply both sides by \(7\).
\[x(x-3)+7x=77\]
Expand.
\[{x}^{2}-3x+7x=77\]
Simplify  \({x}^{2}-3x+7x\)  to  \({x}^{2}+4x\).
\[{x}^{2}+4x=77\]
Move all terms to one side.
\[{x}^{2}+4x-77=0\]
Factor \({x}^{2}+4x-77\).
\[(x-7)(x+11)=0\]
Solve for \(x\).
\[x=7,-11\]
