(With solution please)

Answer 1

`x=(30)/((1+x))`

Explanation:

step one:

This is a word problem, we need to translate is it to mathematical terms before we solve

"When x is added to its square, the total is 30"

step two:

`x+x^2=30`

`x+x^2=30\\\\x(1+x)=30\\\\`

step three:

divide both sides by 1+x we have the value of x as

`x=(30)/((1+x))`
