(x^2+3)/(x-1)=7

Solution for (x^2+3)/(x-1)=7 equation:

(x^2+3)/(x-1)=7

We move all terms to the left:

(x^2+3)/(x-1)-(7)=0


Domain of the equation: (x-1)!=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

x!=1

x∈R


We multiply all the terms by the denominator


(x^2+3)-7*(x-1)=0

We multiply parentheses

(x^2+3)-7x+7=0

We get rid of parentheses

x^2-7x+3+7=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-7x+10=0

a = 1; b = -7; c = +10;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -72-4·1·10
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)-3}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)+3}{2*1}=\frac{10}{2}
=5
