Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 11 and -16

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a number increased by 5 times the number is equal to 176

Let the number be n.

We have

        n² + 5 n = 176

        n² + 5 n - 176 = 0

        $n=\frac{-5\pm \sqrt{5^2-4\times 1\times (-176)}}{2\times 1}=\frac{-5\pm 27}{2}\\\\n=11\texttt{ or }n=-16$

So the numbers are 11 and -16
