Translate from English to Math Language & let x be this number:x² + 5x = 176

x² + 5x - 176 =0 (Quadratic equation)

Solve x , you will find x' = 11 & x" =-16

Answer:  One of the numbers for which the given condition is true is 11 or -16.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the square of a number  increased by 5 times the number is equal to 176.

We are to find one number for which this can be true.

Let x be the number.

Then, according to the given information, we have

[tex]x^2+5x=176\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+5x-176=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+16x-11x-176=0\\\\\Rightarrow x(x+16)-11(x+16)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x-11)(x+16)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x-11=0,~~~~~x+16=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=11,~-16.[/tex]

Thus, one of the numbers for which the given condition is true is 11 or -16.
