For which positive number does multiplying the number by the result obtained after adding 8 to it give 209?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 11

Let the positive number be \(x\). According to the question, \(x(x+8)=209\), so \(x^2+8x-209=0\). Factoring gives \((x-11)(x+19)=0\), hence \(x=11\) or \(x=-19\). Since the number must be positive, the correct answer is 11. Although 19 is a factor of 209, it does not satisfy the condition because \(19(19+8)=513\). Exam tip: after solving a quadratic, check the given condition, such as positivity, before selecting the root.
