Answer:
Hi.hope you are fine.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given. Total apples = 300.
No.of students be x
Each student will get= 300/x apples.
Now if no.of students is x+10
Then each will get 300/ x+ 10 apples.
Now, asper the question .
300/x+10= 300/ x - 1
300/x - 300/ x+10= 1
300(x+10) - 300x / x(x+10) = 1
3000= x^2 +10x
x^2 + 10x - 3000=0
