Question

If any number and his square add is 182 then what number. ¿

Answer 1

Hello Friend,
let the number be x.
x+x^2=182
x^2+x-182=0
x^2-13x+14x-182=0
x(x-13)+14(x-13)=0
(x+14)(x-13)=0

so, x=-14 and 13

hope it helps

Answer 2

Define x:

Let the number be x

Solve x:

The number and his square add up to 182

x + x² = 182

x² + x - 182 = 0

(x - 13) (x + 14) = 0

x = 13 or x = -14

Answer: The number is 13 or -14
