To determine the solution of the quadratic equation, use the quadratic formula which states that,

x = ((-b + / - sqrt (b² - 4ac)) / 2a

From the equation, a = 1, b = 14, and c = 112. Substituting these to the quadratic formula,

x = ((-14 + / - sqrt (14² - 4 (1) (12)) / 2 (1) = indeterminate

Thus, the equation does not a real number solution.
