I cant figure out how to solve this equation. 7x=8-x^2

x^2 + 7x - 8 = 0 ; now factor that

If you still "can't figure out", see your teacher...

Thank you, I understand the rest of the steps to solve it. My teacher says if I can solve one problem then I can do them all with no problem. That is not so true because they are all different. Thanks for your help. :lol:
