Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times a number x : 3x

Three times a number x increase by 4: 3x +4

Five times the number x: 5x

5x = 3x +4

Subtract 3x from both the sides.

5x - 3x = 3x +4 - 3x

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 4/2

x=2

The number is 2

98 - x² = 0

x² = 98

x = ±√98

Lets factor 98

98 | 2

49 | 7

7 | 7

So, 98 = 2 . 7 . 7 = 2 . 7²

x = ±√2.7²

x = ±7√2
