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:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
let base be b then height h = 2b + 4
The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A = 
bh ( b is the base and h the height ) , then
A = b(2b + 4) ← distribute parenthesis
A = b² + 2b
When b = 16 , then
A = 16² + 2(16) = 256 + 32 = 288 in²
