Question

If y 2= y + 7, then what is the value of y 3?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

8y + 7

Multiply both sides of \(y^2=y+7\) by \(y\):

\[y^3=y^2+7y\]

Substitute \(y^2=y+7\):

\[y^3=(y+7)+7y=8y+7\]
