Question

The square of a number is 48 more than 22 times of itself.Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

24 or –2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number is x

now,

x^2 – 22x = 48

or, x^2 – 22x –48 = 0

or, x^2 – 24x + 2x –48 = 0

or, x(x – 24) + 2(x – 24) = 0

or, (x – 24)(x + 2) = 0

then,

x = 24 or – 2
