You can put this solution on YOUR website! The product of a positive number and 16 more than seven times the number is 105.
let n = "a number"
write an equation for exactly what it says
n * (7n+16) = 105
7n^2 + 16n = 105
A quadratic equation
7n^2 + 16n - 105 = 0
using the quadratic formula a=7; b=16; c=-105
I got a positive decimal solution
n = 2.89522686

lets see if that disgusting number works in the original
2.895(7(2.895 + 16) =
2.895(36.2665) = 104.99 ~ 105
