Let the marks of mathematics be x Than marks of science be 28-x now according to question (x+3), (28-x-4) The product of new marks will be 180 So, (x+3) (28-x-4)=180 24x-x^2+72-3x=180 x^2-21x+108=0 x^2-12x-9x+108=0 x(x-12)-9(x-12)=0 (x-9)(x-12)=0 (x-9)=0 than x=9 (x-12)=0than x=12 If 9 marks got...

Let the marks of mathematics and science be x and 28-x respectively.Given :-Mathematics: x+3Science: 28-x-4= 24-x.: Their product=( x+3)(24-x)=24x-x^2+72-3x= 21x-x^2+72But given product= 180=> 21x-x^2+72=180=>x^2-21x-72+180=0=>x^2-21x+108=0=>x^2-12x-9x+108=0=>x(x-12)-9(x-12)=0=>(x-9)(x-12)=...

P got (X) mark in math , (28 – X) mark in science , So (X+3)((28 – X – 4) =180 .OR (X +3)( 24 – X) =180 . OR 21X – X^2 +72 = 180, OR 180 – 72 – 21X + X^2 = 0 OR 108 – 21X + X^2 = 0 . OR (X -12)(X – 9) =0 . P got...

Let marks of maths be x And marks of science be y According to question X + Y =28.....(1) (X+3)(Y-4)=180......(2) (X+3)(28-X-4)=180.....(putting value of y from equation 1) (X+3)(24-x)=180 Solving the equation we will get X=12,9 Using equation 1 Y=16,19respectively
