let nwmber to be X

the number is 12 less than it's square,

so X=12-X^2

=> X^2+X-12=0

=> (X+4)(X-3)=0

=>X= 3, or X=-4

in math we don't usually take negative numbers into account so your number would be 3

Can anybody teach me how to solve this pls​
wel
Answer is 10 and 170, complementary angles are 90°, while supplementary angles are 180 in total, if angle A is 80 then you subtract 90 by 80 and you get 10, so that is angle B, So then you are asked what is angle C. Which is part of the supplementary angle so you take the 10° that you got from B and then you subtract 180 by the 10, And thats how you get 170 and that's how you know that C is 170 (hope this explanation helps)
