X2+3xX-7 = 0

You need to think on a Number (X) and square that number, Add 3 then times by X and take seven away and you should get 0 as answer

But i cant find out what X is

Is that advanced higher maths or something?

Doesn't 3xx mean 3 times x times x again?

n if that's right ^^ It's somewhere between 1.24 and 1.25

well if the question is X^2 +3x -7

then you should get two answers.

if you use the quadrac formula you get

-3+(square root of 37)
2

and

-3-(square root of 37)
2

I don't understand how you've written it?
Is it supposed to be:
((X*2) + (3*X)) * - 7 = 0

Or..
(X² + 3*x) * -7 = 0

Edit: Wait, or is it:
(X²+3) * X-7 = 0
