Let us declare the unknown number as 'x'.
The square of the number is x².
The sum of the number and its square is x + x².
Also, it is given that the sum is 42.
x + x² = 42
According to the commutative property, when two numbers are added together or multiplied, the order in which they appear does not affect the result's total or product.
Using the commutative property of addition,
x² + x = 42 is the required solution.
