    A. x=3

    B. x=-7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the quadratic formula:

    For: ax2 + bx + c

    x = [ - b ± √b²-4ac] / 2a

    Replacing with the values given:

    x = [ - 4 ± √ (4) ²-4 (1) - 21] / 2 (1)

    x = [-4 ± √16 + 84] / 2

    x = [ - 4 ± √100] / 2

    x = [ - 4 ± 10] / 2

    Positive:

    x = [-4 + 10] / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3

    Negative:

    x = [ - 4 - 10] / 2 = - 14/2 = - 7

    So, the solutions are:

    A. x=3

    B. x=-7

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
