We get rid of parentheses

1/4x-1/2x-7+3=0

We calculate fractions


2x/8x^2+(-4x)/8x^2-7+3=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2x/8x^2+(-4x)/8x^2-4=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


2x+(-4x)-4*8x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-32x^2+2x+(-4x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-32x^2+2x-4x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-32x^2-2x=0

a = -32; b = -2; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·(-32)·0
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-2}{2*-32}=\frac{0}{-64}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+2}{2*-32}=\frac{4}{-64}
=-1/16
