Do you know what number goes into all of the variables?

OpenStudy (princezz):

is that a 2x or x^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

(x^2) + (10x) - (18) not all of them have an x. not all of them have a 10 or 18.

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

So what do all of them have in common?
