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! :)

Answer:
A,B, and C
Step-by-step explanation:
25%of 24 is 6, 24-6=18(new price)
A.24-(0.25×24)=24-6=18
B.(0.75)×24=18
C.(0.25×24)×3= 6×3=18
1.Identify the fractions. Using the distributive property, you’ll eventually turn them into integers.
2.For all fractions, find the lowest common multiple (LCM) -- the smallest number that both denominators can fit neatly into. This will allow you to add fractions.
3.Multiply every term in the equation by the LCM.
4.Isolate variables adding or subtracting like terms on both sides of the equals sign.
5.Combine like terms.
6.Solve the equation and simplify, if needed.
I think the answer is A. That's a weird version of a growth factor formula.
