2X * X + 3 = 100
do what it says; multiply
2X2 + 3 = 100
subtract 3 from each side
2X2 = 97
divide each side by 2
X2 = 97/2
take square root both sides
X = sqrt(97/2)
you could rationalize the denominator by this method, form of one
X = sqrt(97/2)
same as saying
X = sqrt(97)/sqrt(2) ( use sqrt(2)/sqrt(2) as form of one )
X = sqrt(97)/sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)
X = sqrt(194)/2

no x would be 0.5 because two times 0.5 is 1 ( 2x ) and then add 7 equals 8 ( plus seven equals 8 )
it equals 13X.
-2x plus 3y equals 1
X=7
NM equals 2x + 1, as stated in the question!
