Answer:

1/2 or 50% probability

Step-by-step explanation:

There are just two players, player A and player B. Since it is between this two players, for player A to score first we would have:

AB where player A is the first player to score, we wouldn't have BA since player would not be the first here

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Therefore probability of A being the first player = number of A/total number of players

=1/2 = 0.50

There is therefore a 50% chance of A being the first player

\dfrac 17 x^2 + 1 = \dfrac 37 x\\\\\implies x^2 +7 =3x~~~;[\text{Multiply both sides by 7}]\\\\\implies x^2 -3x +7 =0\\\\\text{Apply quadratic formula}~ x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}.\\\\\text{In  this case ,}~ a =1, b= -3 , c =7\\\\x = \dfrac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(1)(7}}{2(1)}\\\\\implies x= \dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{-19}}{2}\\\\\implies  x =\dfrac{ 3 \pm i\sqrt{19}}2\\\\\\\text{Smaller value of x } =\dfrac{ 3 -i\sqrt{19}}2\\\\\text{Larger value of x } =\dfrac{ 3 +i\sqrt{19}}2
