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! :)

Answer:
(4, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x + y = 14 → (1)
7x - 4y = 20 → (2)
Rearrange (1) making y the subject by subtracting 3x from both sides
y = 14 - 3x → (3)
Substitute y = 14 - 3x into (2)
7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
7x - 56 + 12x = 20
19x - 56 = 20 ( add 56 to both sides )
19x = 76 ( divide both sides by 19 )
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into (3) for corresponding value of y
y = 14 - 3(4) = 14 - 12 = 2
solution is (4, 2 )
