The square of a positive number is 28 more than three times the number. What is the number?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7

Let the number be \(x\). Then \(x^2=3x+28\), so \(x^2-3x-28=0\). Factoring gives \((x-7)(x+4)=0\), hence \(x=7\) or \(x=-4\). Since the number is positive, the correct answer is 7. Exam tip: when a word problem specifies a positive number, discard any negative root.
