(With solution please)

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

This is a word problem, we need to translate is it to mathematical terms before we solve

"When x is added to its square, the total is 30"

step two:

step three:

divide both sides by 1+x we have the value of x as

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
