We are given


6x-1=29

Therefore the value of x can be gotten by simplifying the above equation


\begin{gathered} 6x=29+1 \\ 6x=30 \\ x=(30)/(6) \\ x=5 \end{gathered}

Given that x is 5, we can proceed to find the value of the expression.


\begin{gathered} x^2+x \\ \Rightarrow(5)^2+5 \\ \Rightarrow25+5 \\ \Rightarrow30 \end{gathered}

This implies that


x^2+2\Rightarrow30
