Adding 42 to a given positive number gives the same result as squaring the number. Find the number
14
13
7
6
Correct answer is C
Let the given positive number be x
Then 4 + x = x2
0 = x2 - x - 42
or x2 - x - 42 = 0
x2 - 7x + 6x - 42 = 0
x(x - 7) + 6(x - 7) = 0
= (x + 6)(x - 7) = 0
x = -6 or x = 7
Hence, x = 7
