The square of a number exceeds that number by 12. Which of the following equations is used in the process of solving this problem?
I'm not sure.
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
x^2 = x + 12
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
try x values likes 2, 3 ,4 and see what makes the expression equivalent.
OpenStudy (erak):
Your answers would be 4 and -3
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
for example x = 2
2^2 = 2 +12 , so 4 = 16 which is not true.

You can solve this algebraically by just recognising you can take x^2 = x + 12, put it into standard form and solve as a quadratic.

Than probably \(x^2+12=x\) would work :#
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
yep that would work

Thanks cx

I don't think your equation works @AloneS, hm
OpenStudy (latinc):
maybe x^2 -12 = x
OpenStudy (erak):
Yes @latinC that would work
OpenStudy (latinc):
x^2-x-12 =0

I dont' have that as my asnwer choice /.<

wait @Erak how did u get there?
OpenStudy (erak):
What are your answer choices?
alones (alones):
\[x=x^2+12\]
\[x^2=x+12\]
\[x^2+12=x\]
OpenStudy (erak):
It'd be the second one like @sweetburger said above
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hay, x^2+12=x sounds right

I'll go wiht mine.
Alright.
OpenStudy (erak):
:/ I'm almost certain the second one is correct

Only when you doubt yourself do problems occur
OpenStudy (erak):
For example, going with the equation I think is right: x^2 = x + 12
If we use x = 4, we see that
4^2 = 4 + 12
16 = 16
The square of 4, 16, exceeds itself by 12.
