7u^2-20u-3=0

Solution for 7u^2-20u-3=0 equation:

7u^2-20u-3=0

a = 7; b = -20; c = -3;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -202-4·7·(-3)
Δ = 484
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{484}=22$
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)-22}{2*7}=\frac{-2}{14}
=-1/7
$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)+22}{2*7}=\frac{42}{14}
=3
