7*x  + 8*x + 6 = 0
$$7 x^{2} + 8 x + 6 = 0$$
Detail solution
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 $D = b^2 - 4 a c$ is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 7$$
$$b = 8$$
$$c = 6$$
, then
$$D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = $$
$$\left(-1\right) 7 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 + 8^{2} = -104$$
Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
$$x_1 = \frac{(-b + \sqrt{D})}{2 a}$$
$$x_2 = \frac{(-b - \sqrt{D})}{2 a}$$
or
$$x_{1} = - \frac{4}{7} + \frac{\sqrt{26} i}{7}$$
Simplify
$$x_{2} = - \frac{4}{7} - \frac{\sqrt{26} i}{7}$$
Simplify
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$7 x^{2} + 8 x + 6 = 0$$
of
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$$
as reduced quadratic equation
$$x^{2} + \frac{b x}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0$$
$$x^{2} + \frac{8 x}{7} + \frac{6}{7} = 0$$
$$p x + x^{2} + q = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = \frac{8}{7}$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = \frac{6}{7}$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - \frac{8}{7}$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = \frac{6}{7}$$
