   2                 
4*x  + 7*x = 7 + 24*x
$$4 x^{2} + 7 x = 24 x + 7$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$4 x^{2} + 7 x = 24 x + 7$$
to
$$\left(- 24 x - 7\right) + \left(4 x^{2} + 7 x\right) = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 4$$
$$b = -17$$
$$c = -7$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-17)^2 - 4 * (4) * (-7) = 401

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = \frac{17}{8} + \frac{\sqrt{401}}{8}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{17}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{401}}{8}$$
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$4 x^{2} + 7 x = 24 x + 7$$
of
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$$
as reduced quadratic equation
$$x^{2} + \frac{b x}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0$$
$$x^{2} - \frac{17 x}{4} - \frac{7}{4} = 0$$
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = - \frac{17}{4}$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = - \frac{7}{4}$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = \frac{17}{4}$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = - \frac{7}{4}$$
