Answer:

Explanation:

You have 2 x's. I think the first one is for multiplication and the second one is a variable.

2x2 -1 = 7x

4-1 = 7x (first multiple 2x2)

3=7x (second 4-1)

0.428571429 = x (Divide both sides by 7. On the left side, 3/7 is 0.428571429 and 7x/7 is just x because the 7s cancel out.

Since the answer needs to be to two decimal places, I have to decide if 0.428571429 is closer to 0.42 or 0.43 Since the digit after the 2 in the answer is 8, that makes the number closer to 0.43 than 0.42. So, the final answer is 0.43
