The product of the number that is 7 less than a number and the number that is 12 more than it is 756. What is the positive value of the original number?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(\frac{-5+\sqrt{3385}}{2}\)

Let the original number be \(x\). Then \((x-7)(x+12)=756\), which gives \(x^2+5x-840=0\). Applying the quadratic formula yields \(x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{3385}}{2}\). The positive value is \(\frac{-5+\sqrt{3385}}{2}\); the other root is negative. Exam tip: translate ‘7 less’ as \(x-7\) and ‘12 more’ as \(x+12\) before forming the equation.
