The square of a number I see equal to two less than three times the number. What are two possible values of the number? A. 1,2 B. -1,2 C. 1,-2 D. -1,-2 E. 2,3

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take this number as x, translating this description of the equation into mathematical language;

Now let us solve for x;

* Note that for the the previous problem I solved, I set up a similar equation that had two values for the width, one negative and the other positive. Now the width could only be a positive number, so there was only one solution out of the two.
