mj thinks of a number. she adds 2 to the number then multiples the result by 3. The answer is the same as adding 5 to the number them multiplying by 2

my number is d

3 (d×2) = 2 (d+5)

3×d + 3×2 = 2×d + 2×5

3d + 6 = 2d + 10

3d +6 -6 -2d = 2d - 10 - 6

3d - 2d = 10 - 6

The sum of the square of a positive number and the square of 44 more than the number is 8080. what is the number?

mash [69]

Let the number be x, therefore, its square is x², and 44 more than the number is x+44 whose square is (x+4)².
Thus the sum will be x² + (x+44)²² = 8080
x² + x² + 88x + 1936= 8080 Combining the right terms
2x² + 8x - 6144 = 0 dividing by 2
x² + 44x - 3072 =0 solving for x
x = 37.6 or -81.6
Therefore, the positive number is 37.6
