So for this problem, you will need to write out the equation before you can solve the question. The square of two times an integer translates into 2x². In a word problem, "is" means =. Therefore, 2x² is equal to the other half of the equation. To write out the other half of the equation, you have to know that "is more than" means addition. So, 10x+6 is the other half of the equation. your final equation becomes 2x²=10x+6. Then solve the equation like in any other problem: 2x²=10x+6 becomes 2x²-10x-6=0, and then factor or use the quadratic formula.
