Question 852811: A man who died in 1976 was x years old in the year x^2 where x is an integer. How old was he when he died?
I defined the equation as:
X^2 = x
In 1976 his age will be
X^2 + 1976 = x + 1976
I am not sure how to proceed after this. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Try the squares < 1976.
Probably was 44 in 1936.
Died at 84 in 1976.
-----------------
The next possibility is 43 in 1849 --> 170 in 1976.
