Answer:
LET THE MARKS OF THE SUBJECT OF ENGLISH BE X AND MATHS BE Y .
THEREFORE ;
ACCORDING TO THE GIVEN CONDITIONS ;
X + Y = 30
X = 30 - Y ----(1)
(Y + 2 ) ( X - 3 ) = 210
XY - 3Y + 2X - 6 = 210
XY - 3Y + 2X = 216
XY + 2X = 216 + 3Y ----(2)
SUBSTITUTING EQ (1) IN EQ (2)
(30 - Y ) Y + 2 (30 - Y ) = 216 + 3Y
30Y - Y^2 + 60 - 2Y = 216 + 3Y
- Y^2 + 30Y - 2Y - 3Y = 216 - 60
- Y^2 + 25Y = 156
Y^2 - 25Y + 156 = 0
Y^2 - 12Y - 13Y + 156 = 0
Y( Y - 12 ) - 13 ( Y - 12 )=0
(Y - 12 ) ( Y - 13 ) = 0
THEREFORE ,
Y = 12 AND Y = 13
CASE 1
Y = 12
SUBSTITUTING Y = 12 IN EQ (1)
X = 30 - 12
X = 18
CASE 2
Y = 13
SUBSTITUTING Y = 13 IN EQ (1)
X = 30 - 13
X = 17
THEREFORE ;
X = 17 , 18
Y = 13 , 12
