Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation: You need to divide 7 by 1/4. Whenever you divide fractions you keep the first number as it is, change the sign to multiplication and write the reciprocal of the second fraction which is you have to flip the fraction. It is going to be 7 times 4/1. Which is 28/1 which is 28.
This does not look easy to factor, so I'd suggest using the quadratic formula:
-1 plus or minus sqrt( 1-4(3)(-5) )
x = -----------------------------------------------
2*3
-1 plus or minus sqrt(61)
= ------------------------------------
6
Thus, there are 2 real, unequal, irrational roots / solutions.
