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

More data can be applied to the frequency distribution table. You can measure the "midpoint" (or "class mark") of each class as: Midpoint = Lower class limit + Upper class limit 2 . . The proportion of the data that falls in that class is the "relative frequency" of each class.
