Answer:
5 or -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the required number is be x.
As given, sum of the number and its square is 30.
⇒ x + x² = 30
⇒ x² + x - 30 = 0
Splitting the middle term
⇒ x² + (6 -5)x - 30 = 0
⇒ x² + 6x - 5x - 30 = 0
⇒ x(x + 6) - 5(x + 6) = 0
⇒ (x + 6)(x - 5) = 0
⇒ x = -6 or x = 5
Therefore the required no. is 5 or -6.

The Numbers are 5 (or), 6
From the Question, the Equation was :
x + x² = 30
⇒ x² + x - 30 = 0
by using, splitting middle term method
⇒ x² + (6-5)x - 30 = 0
⇒ x² + 6x - 5x - 30 = 0
⇒ x(x + 6) - 5(x + 6) = 0
⇒ (x+6) (x-5) = 0
↣ x = 5 , -6
