Answer:
[tex]x=\frac{30}{(1+x)}[/tex]
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:
[tex]x+x^2=30[/tex]
[tex]x+x^2=30\\\\x(1+x)=30\\\\[/tex]
step three:
divide both sides by 1+x we have the value of x as
[tex]x=\frac{30}{(1+x)}[/tex]
