The Algebraic equations (x - 20)² and x² - 20 have an equal value My number is 6.
Algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rule involves manipulating these mathematical symbols.
I think of a number, if I subtract 10 from my number, then square the result, I get the same answer as if I square my number, then subtract 20 from the result.
Let the number be x.
If I subtract 20 from my number that is x - 20 then square the result that is (x-20)².
And if I square my number that is x² then subtract 20 from the result that is x² - 20.
Both the result are the same then we have
(x - 20)² = x² - 20
x² - 20x + 100 = x² - 20
-20x + 100 = -20
x = 6
My number is 6
