Answer:

If i understood correctly n = 4

Explanation:

You are looking for the smallest n that gives a result to the square root so you have to try known squares.

Since you have 60+n, you have to start with 64, 81, 100, etc

First try with 64 means n equals 4

Then you go for the next expresion and replace 4:

2(4) + 28 = 36 which is 6*6

So thats your answer
