    For this case we have the following quadratic equation:
    7x²=9+x
    Rewriting the equation we have:
    7x² – x – 9 = 0
    Here, a = 7, b = -1, c = -9
    Now, b² – 4ac
    (-1)² – 4.7.(-9)
    1+252
    253
    Therefore,

    – b±(b²-4ac)^1/2
    x = ———————
    2a

    – (-1)±(253)^1/2
    x = ——————
    2.7

    1±(253)^1/2
    x = —————
    14
