Solve each equation and express your answer in simplest radical form:

1.) 5x - 7x^2 = 3x + 4

2.) -x^2 + 4x = 13

1.  5x - 7x^2 = 3x +4        add 7x^2 to both sides 0f the equation

5x   =   7x^2 + 3x + 4      subtract 5x from both sides

0 = 7x^2 -5x +3x+4        simplify

0 = 7x^2 - 2x + 4          SInce the question states that it is 'radical form'   you will need to use Quadratic Formula (rather than factoring) to find 'roots'

$$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}$$

a = 7    b = -2    c = 4

[ 2 +- sqrt((-2)^2 - 4(7)(4) ]   / [ 2(7) ]  = 2 +- sqrt(-108) / 14  =  2+- 6i sqrt(3)  / 14   =  1/7 +- 3/7 i sqrt(3)

Think you can do the second one now?

2.  - x^2 +4x = 13

x^2 -4x +13 = 0         a = 1   b = -4   c = 13
