+ 7 to both side to make the right side equal to 0

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Divide by 2 ----> x^2 - 4x + 7/2 = 0, then subtract 7/2 from both sides to get x^2 - 4x = 7/2, then add 4 to both sides to get x^2 = - 1/2

OpenStudy (firejay5):

factor out the left size (x - 2)^2 = 1/2, take the square root of both sides to get x -2 = 1/sqrt of 2 or x - 2 = -1/sqrt of 2 <---- solve both equations and your answer is x = 2+/- 1/sqrt of 2
