7*x  - 21 = 0
7x221=07 x^{2} - 21 = 0
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a x2+b x+c=0a\ x^2 + b\ x + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant
The roots of the quadratic equation:
x1=Db2ax_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
x2=Db2ax_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
where D=b24acD = b^2 - 4 a c is the discriminant.
Because
a=7a = 7
b=0b = 0
c=21c = -21
, then
D=b24 a c=D = b^2 - 4\ a\ c =
0274(21)=5880^{2} - 7 \cdot 4 \left(-21\right) = 588
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1=(b+D)2ax_1 = \frac{(-b + \sqrt{D})}{2 a}
x2=(bD)2ax_2 = \frac{(-b - \sqrt{D})}{2 a}
or
x1=3x_{1} = \sqrt{3}
Simplify
x2=3x_{2} = - \sqrt{3}

of
ax2+bx+c=0a x^{2} + b x + c = 0
as reduced quadratic equation
x2+bxa+ca=0x^{2} + \frac{b x}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0
x23=0x^{2} - 3 = 0
px+x2+q=0p x + x^{2} + q = 0
where
p=bap = \frac{b}{a}
p=0p = 0
q=caq = \frac{c}{a}
q=3q = -3
