Answer:
[tex](-7[/tex]±[tex]\sqrt{17}) /2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert this into a quadratic, [tex]x^{2}+7x+8=0[/tex]. We can use the quadratic formula for this, [tex](-7[/tex]±[tex]\sqrt{7^{2}-4(1)(8)})[/tex][tex]/2(1)[/tex]. This becomes [tex](-7[/tex]±[tex]\sqrt{49-32})/2[/tex]. This is [tex](-7[/tex]±[tex]\sqrt{17}) /2[/tex]. This is your answer
