\(y = {-7 \pm \sqrt{7^2-4(1)(-6)} \over 2}\)
Convenient that the first thing from the LaTeX button is the quadratic formula. (Before this, subtract 6 from both sides. It's now y2+7y-6=0)
Evaluate what is under the root.
-4*-6=24
72=49
49+24=73
We now have \(y= {-7 \pm \sqrt{73} \over 2}\)
Nothing past this can be done. Your answer is A .
