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

Write the equation and the answer

The answer is x² + 7x + 10 = 0.

Step-by-step 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)

Step-by-step 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
