Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We must follow order of operations rules here.
Let the number be x. Then 5x^2 + 2 = 45. No parentheses needed here.
Then 5x^2 = 45, and x = ±9
4565
Take sides as
-3x-2-6x=-4-<em>(-4x)</em>+12
-9x-2=-16x+12
7x=14
x=2.
You probably got confused with the italicized part.
