Answer:

The correct answer is x^2 + x = 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to declare the unknown, as usual we will use x for the number. Then, the square of the number will be x^2. Following the order of the statement we have that x + x^2 =42. Here we have ‘‘translated’’ the term <em>the sum</em> in the mathematical operation of addition. Moreover, we convert the fact that the sum of a number and its square is 42 in a equality. This is the explanation of the equation x + x^2 =42.

Finally, using that the addition is commutative we have that x^2+x=42.

The product of some negative number and 4 less than twice that number is 336. Find the number.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Let the number be 'x'

Since, the product of number and 4 less than twice that number is 336.

x \times [(2 \times x) -4] = 336

x[2x -4] = 336

2x^2 -4x- 336=0

x^2-2x-168=0

Now, we will split the middle term, we get

x^2-14x+12x-168=0

x(x-14)+12(x-14)=0

(x-14)(x+12)=0

So, (x-14)=0 or (x+12)=0

So, x = 14 or x = -12

Therefore, the negative number is '-12'.
