when the sum of 16 and 10 times a positive number is subtracted from the sqaure of the number,o results\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let the number be x
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-(10x+16)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-10x-16=0
\n" ); document.write( "find the roots of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "x1= (10+sqrt(100+64))/2
\n" ); document.write( "x1= 11.403
\n" ); document.write( "x2=(10-sqrt(100+64))/2
\n" ); document.write( "x2=-1.403\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "plug the value of 11.403 in the equation
\n" ); document.write( "11.403^2-((10*11.403)+16)=.001
\n" ); document.write( "The number is 11.403
\n" ); document.write( "-1.403 does not satisfy . so ignore
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
