✔ 最佳答案
x = integer

x + 5 * x^2 = 234
5x^2 + x - 234 = 0

Use the quadratic formula. Way too messy for me to type.

You find
x = ~6.74178
x = ~6.94178

What's problematic about this answer? It's not an integer. So, ya.

x+5(x^2)=234

No integer fits this equation

let x = an integer
5x^2 = t times its square
x + 5x^2 = 234

I'm sure you can do a little algebra yourself.

An integer x + 5x^2=234. Put it into ax^2+bx+c=0 and factor. You can do the work from there.

x+5sqrt(x)=234
solve for x
x=169
i put sqrt cause its the only way to get an integer answer. maybe this is what u or the book meant
