SOLUTION:
Let whole number = x
x + 2x^2 = 21
2x^2 + x - 21 = 0
2x^2 + 7x - 6x - 21 = 0
x ( 2x + 7 ) - 3 ( 2x + 7 ) = 0
( 2x + 7 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0
2x + 7 = 0
2x = - 7
x = - 7 / 2
OR
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
ANSWER:
Therefore, as 3 is a whole number while - 7 / 2 isn't a whole number, the whole number must be 3.
Hope this helps! :)
Have a lovely day! <3
STEP

:
Pulling out like terms
Pull out like factors :
32 - 2x = -2 • (x - 16)
STEP

:
Equations which are never true:
2.1 Solve : -2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
2.2 Solve : x-16 = 0
Add 16 to both sides of the equation :
x = 16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-3)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 7^2
Answer:x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-1=-7
Add 1 to each side
2x=-6
Divide each side by 2
x=-3
