1. Problem Description

We need to solve the quadratic equation 7x26x3=07x^2 - 6x - 3 = 0 for xx.

2. Solution Steps

We can solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula.
The quadratic formula is given by:
x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
where aa, bb, and cc are the coefficients of the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
In our case, a=7a = 7, b=6b = -6, and c=3c = -3. Plugging these values into the quadratic formula, we get:
x=(6)±(6)24(7)(3)2(7)x = \frac{-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4(7)(-3)}}{2(7)}
x=6±36+8414x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36 + 84}}{14}
x=6±12014x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{120}}{14}
x=6±43014x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{4 \cdot 30}}{14}
x=6±23014x = \frac{6 \pm 2\sqrt{30}}{14}
x=3±307x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{30}}{7}

3. Final Answer

x=3+307x = \frac{3 + \sqrt{30}}{7} and x=3307x = \frac{3 - \sqrt{30}}{7}
