Solve for $x^2 + 7x +1 = 3n(x^2 + x +1), n \in \Bbb{Z}$
edit: I want to know what was[is] wrong with my question in the first place. Request to reopen and asking for reasons to put on hold in the first place not necessarily mean the same thing.
My this question was put on hold as off-topic because it lacks context. It also gives a link to how I can add context. The link gave the following points
- Include your work
My response: I answered that question which I asked. I got a few hints from the comments which helped me. Should I give a summary of my solution it the question? - Motivation for the question
My response: I said in the details of the question that the original problem was a trigonometric equation which I solved but was stuck there. - From where the question came from
My response: It came from a book which is suppose to help me in my College entrance exam. But in this context, it is really irrelevant and rather obvious. - Give your background
My response: I did give my background. I am a high school student who is self-studying for the college entrance exam. - Reference
My response: None exist.
I am not criticizing the one(many) who put my question on hold because nobody has to answer my question as this site is run by volunteers. I am just curious. How can I improve my question?
