You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the number be x
square = x^2
x^2=x+110
x^2-x-110=0
x^2-11x+10x-110=0
x(x-11)+10(x-11)=0
(x+10)(x-11)=0
x= -10 OR 11
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, let x be the number in question.
We know x^2=x+110
So, x^2-x-110=0
By using the quadratic formula, we get
x=11 or x=-10
