x=+-7x=±7

Explanation:

Start by adding 3 to both sides of the equation.

1/7x^2cancel(-3)cancel(+3)=4+3

rArr1/7x^2=7

multiply both sides by 7 to eliminate the fraction.

cancel(7)^1xx1/cancel(7)^1 x^2=7xx7

rArrx^2=49

Take the color(blue)"square root of both sides"

sqrt(x^2)=+-sqrt49

rArrx=+-7larrcolor(red)" are the solutions"
