Add them all together: 36
Hockey card probability: 4/36
Simplify: 1/9
Hope you won't be turned off by a correction, but we really need to use the symbol " ^ " to denote exponentiation.
Thus, we have x^2 = 100
Taking the square root of both sides, we get x = plus or minus 10. Verify, please, that both x = -10 and x = +10 satisfy the given equation.
