Answer:
hi here is Ur answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the marks in Maths be x.
Then, the marks in English will be 30 - x.
According to the question,
(x + 2)(30 - x - 3) = 210
(x + 2)(27 - x) = 210
⇒ -x2 + 25x + 54 = 210
⇒ x2 - 25x + 156 = 0
⇒ x2 - 12x - 13x + 156 = 0
⇒ x(x - 12) -13(x - 12) = 0
⇒ (x - 12)(x - 13) = 0
⇒ x = 12, 13
If the marks in Maths are 12, then marks in English will be 30 - 12 = 18
If the marks in Maths are 13, then marks in English will be 30 - 13 = 17
hope this helps

Answer:
M:mathematics marks, E:English marks
M +E =30
(M+2)(E-3)=210
M+2)(27-M)=210
25M-M^2 +54=210
M^2 - 25M+156=0
M-12)(M-13)=0
M=12or13
If M =12 then E =18
If M=13 then E=17
