Question

The square of a number and 7 times a number are -10

Write the equation and the answer

Answer 1

Explanation:

The sum of the square of a number and 7 times a number

The phrase a number means an arbitrary variable, let's call it x.

x

Square the number:

x^2

7 times the number means we multiply x by 7:

7x

The sum means we add x^2 and 7x

x^2 + 7x

Answer 2

The answer is x² + 7x + 10 = 0.

Explanation:

First, you have to make an expression. By reading the question, we can make it :

Let number = x,

Square of a no,

x²

7 times a no,

7 × x

= 7x

And means ADD equals to -10,

x² + 7x = -10

x² + 7x + 10 = 0

(By forming an equation, you have to let expressions equals to 0, so I add 10 to both sides in order to get rid of -10)
