Solution

(Na2B4O7.10H2O)
is actually Na2[B4O5(OH)4].8H2O
Anionic part of borax [B4O5(OH)4]2


In the anionic part,
Number of sp3 hybridized atom = 11 [2 boron + 9 oxygen]
Number of sp2 hybridized atom = 2[2 boron]
Also, 8H2O has 8 sp3 hybridized atoms.
So, total sp3 hybridised atoms =11+8=19
x=19
x19=1919=1
