Question

If the sum of a number and its square is 182 what is the number

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number +(number)^2 =182.

Let x be the number then, x+x^2=182.

Now substituting x=13 then,

13+13^2

=13+169

=182.

[I found the answer by trial and error method..14^2 is 196. So i checked the next lower number 13.]
