There are two solutions to every quadratic equation.
If you cannot easily see how to factor the expression, then you can always use the quadratic formula. In this case,
x = (-6±√(36+84))/-14 = (3±√30)/7
-7x^2+6x+3=0
why are there 2 solutions for this one?
Please and thank you so much

to find the nature of the roots (solutions)
you can solve it with the quadratic formula (or factoring)
or ... find the discriminant ... b^2 - 4 a c

There are 2 solutions because a graph of the function crosses the x-axis
twice.
twice.
