x^2-2=7

Subtract 7 from both sides

x^2-2-7=7-7

x^2-9=0

x^2-3^2=0

Using a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

Where a=x and b=3

(x-3)(x+3)

IF you mean $3 x^{2} -16=131$ , then the following would be a solution:

First add 16 to both sides of the equation:
$3 x^{2} = 147$

Now divide both sides of the equation by 3:
$x^{2} =49$

Take the square root of both sides to solve for "X", or simply solve by inspection: "what number(s) can be squared to get 49?"

Answer: -7 and 7 So the smallest solution would be "-7"

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple probability is a ratio of the number of ways the thing we want to happen can to the total possible outcomes.

(For example, we flip a coin and want heads, but it can land on heads or tails. Our probability of getting heads is 1/2, one way to get heads over the 2 possible outcomes)

So for this problem, there's 20 possible things that CAN happen (3 + 7 + 10) and 10 ways we get what we want (a green marble).

Our probability of getting a green marble is $\frac{10}{20\\}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$
