SOLUTION:
Let whole number = x
x + 2x^2 = 21
2x^2 + x - 21 = 0
2x^2 + 7x - 6x - 21 = 0
x ( 2x + 7 ) - 3 ( 2x + 7 ) = 0
( 2x + 7 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0
2x + 7 = 0
2x = - 7
x = - 7 / 2
OR
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
ANSWER:
Therefore, as 3 is a whole number while - 7 / 2 isn't a whole number, the whole number must be 3.
Hope this helps! :)

This equation can be written as
(v-8)(v+5)/ (v-8)(v-3)
= v+5/v-3
Answer:
212.5 miles on 25 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion
85 miles on 10 gallons
x miles on 25 gallons.
85/10 = x / 25 Multiply both sides by 25
85*25 / 10 = x Simplify the left
2125 / 10 = x
x = 212.5 miles in 25 gallons.
20%.
20,000 times 0.8 is 16,000, so the decreased value that was lost was 20% of the original price.
