Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

x² + 2x = 3

x² + 2x - 3 = 0

Product = -3

Sum =2

Factors = 3 * (-1)

x² + 3x - x - 3 = 0

x*(x+3) - (x + 3) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Ignore x + 3 because the number is a positive number

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

The number is 1

The equation is already solved for the variable t To solve for any other variable simply rearrange theequation to have the indicated variable on one sideof the equals sign and everything else on the other. For example, to solve for a: t=an+b subtract b from both sidest-b = an divide both sides by n(t-b)/n = a Or: a = (t-b)/n Work in the same manner to solve for either b or n: b = t-an n = (t-b)/a
