Answer: The value of x can be either 5 or 10.

Explanation:

We are given:

Total profit, P = $5600

The given equation follows:

⇒ P = 600 + 1500x - 100x²

Putting value of P in above equation, we get:

⇒ -100x² + 1500x + 600 = 5600

⇒ -100x² + 1500x - 5000 = 0

⇒ 100x² - 1500x + 5000 = 0

Solving this equation by middle term split, we get:

⇒ 100(x² - 15x + 50) = 0

⇒ (x² - 10x - 5x + 50) = 0

⇒ x(x - 10) - 5(x -10) = 0

⇒ (x - 10)(x - 5) = 0

⇒ x = 10, 5

Hence, the value of x can be either 5 or 10.
