I'm thinking of a number, multiply it by itself and then add 6 to the result
x^2+6 is the result, if you started with x.
If they gave you a final result, then you could find a value for the unknown number. If they didn't gave you a result, then "Steve" is correct.
To find the result of multiplying a number by itself and then adding 6 to the result, you'll follow a simple mathematical equation. Let's call the number you're thinking of "x".
The equation can be written as (x * x) + 6.
To solve this equation, you'll first calculate the value of x * x, which is x squared (x^2). Next, you'll add 6 to the result of x^2.
Let's go through an example to make it clearer. Suppose you're thinking of the number 4.
First, calculate 4 squared: 4 * 4 = 16.
Next, add 6 to the result: 16 + 6 = 22.
So, if you were thinking of the number 4, multiplying it by itself and adding 6 gives you a result of 22.
Keep in mind that this equation works with any number you're thinking of -- just substitute the value of "x" in the equation with your chosen number and follow the same steps.
