Whole number —> X

Twice the square of the number —> 2X²

X + 2X² = 10

2X²+X –10 =0

(2x + 5) ( x–2) =0

2x +5=0 —> 2x= – 5 —> x= – 5/2 = —> x= - 2.5 (rejected)

x–2=0 —> x= 2

So Ans ; X= 2 ( the number )

I hope I helped you^_^

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
