8x^2 +22x -21 = 0
x^2 +2.75x-2.625
ax^2 +bx +c = 0 is std form

......................b+/-sqrt(b^2 -4ac)
.....................-------------------------
............................2a

22+/-sqrt(484+672)
------------------------------- = 1.375 +/- 2.125 = 3.5, -0.75
..........16

8(x+3.5)(x-0.75)

(2x-7)(4x+3)=0 ----> x = 7/2 or -3/4
