Im thinking of a number. The square of this number is the same as the number times 4. What could my number be?

Question

please help have no clue what im doing

Answer 1

4

Answer 2

It's called an identity.

If the number times four is the same

as the number times itself,

them what is the number?

Answer 3

4 or 0.

Let the number be x.

x^2 = 4x

x^2 - 4x = 0

x(x - 4) = 0

x = 0 or x = 4

Answer 4

I agree with +4  or 0.I don't see -4, since -4 squared is +16, while -4(4) is -16.

Answer 5

4, 0, or -4.
