Your question is worded really well .. I can see you have tried it properly for yourself. I like that :)
7+- the square root of 9 divided by 2
I got it using the quadratic formula from x^2+4x-7=0
x=−b±√b2−4ac2ax=−4±√42−4∗1∗−72∗1x=−4±√16−−282x=−4±√16+282x=−4±√442x=−4±√4∗112x=−4±2√112x=2(−2±√11)2x=−2±√11
So if you did not mistype your original equation then you did something wrong with the quadratic formula.
Now I will look at you ACTUAL question ... which is simpler :)
7+- the square root of 9 divided by 2
x=7±√92x=7±32x=7+32orx=7−32x=102orx=42x=5orx=2
This would have been the solution to x2−7x+10=0
