Question
Identify the number that, when subtracted by its square
root, results in a difference of 42.Solution
Let the number be 'x'. So, x - 42 = √x On, squaring both sides, we have; (x - 42) 2 = (√x) 2 Or, x2 + 1764 - 84x = x Or, x2 - 85x + 1764 = 0 Or, x2 - 36x - 49x + 1764 = 0 Or, x(x - 36) - 49(x - 36) = 0 Or, (x - 49) (x - 36) = 0 So, x = 49 or x = 36 We can see that 'x' = 36 will not satisfy the equation, so x = 49 Hence, option d.
Solve for x in the equation: 3(x + 2) + 2(2x - 5) = 5x + 9
If x = 19, then the value of x5 - 20x4 + 20x3 - 20x2 + 20x - 1 is
