First divide the equation by 2, to reduce co-efficient of x², if there isn't any no need to divide
i.e, (÷2) => x²-7x/2+3/2=0
Now we multiply -7x/2 by 1/2
=> x²-7x/4+3/2=0
Now we split the middle term
=> (x-7/4)²-(7/4)²+3/2=0
Transpose,
=> (x-7/4)²=(7/4)²-3/2
=> (x-7/4)²= 49/16 - 3/2
=> (x-7/4)²= 49/16 - 24/16
=> (x-7/4)²= 25/16
Taking square root both sides
x-7/4= ±√25/16
x-7/4=±5/4
x=±5/4 +7/4
so x can be
x=5/4+7/4=12/4=3
(or)
x= -5/4+7/4=2/4=1/2
x=3 or x=1/2
