To solve for x in the equation x2 - 2x - 2 = 0, use the quadratic equation, that is:
For 0 = ax2 + bx + c, the roots (values of x) are defined as:
x = [-b +/- sqrt(b2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
(If that's hard to understand, Google "quadratic formula").
It works out to x = 2.73, -0.73.

What does x equal in 3x 4-11?
what does the equation equal? if it equals zero: 0= 3x(4-11) 0=3x(-7) 0=3x 0=x if the equation doesn't equal anything, it means it's just an expression meaning you can't solve for x, you can only reduce (and this equation is already reduced). if the equation equals y, you need another equation and use either substitution or elimination to solve for x.
