SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on formulating an equation based on the problem statement: the sum of an integer (n) and its square (n²) equals 210. The equation derived from this statement is n + n² = 210. By rearranging the equation, it can be expressed as n² + n - 210 = 0, which is a standard quadratic equation that can be solved using the quadratic formula or factoring techniques.

Do it step by step:

The Sum of an integer ([itex]n[/itex]) and its square ([itex]+ n^2[/itex]) is 210 ([itex]= 210[/itex]).

Now you write the equation.
