Answer :

  • Option C (x = 3 or x = -13)

Explanation :


\longrightarrow \sf \qquad {x}^(2) + 10x = 39

We can write it as,


\longrightarrow \sf \qquad {x}^(2) + 10x - 39 = 0

We have to find the two numbers a and b such that,


\longrightarrow \sf \qquad a + b = 10


\longrightarrow \sf \qquad a b = 39

Obviously, the two numbers are 3 and 13.


\longrightarrow \sf \qquad {x}^(2) - 3x + 13x - 39 = 0


\longrightarrow \sf \qquad {x}(x - 3)+ 13(x - 3) = 0


\longrightarrow \sf \qquad ({x}+ 13)(x - 3) = 0

Whether, the value of x :


\longrightarrow \sf \qquad {x}+ 13 = 0


\longrightarrow \pmb{\bf \qquad {x} = - 13}

Whether, the value of x :


\longrightarrow \sf \qquad {x} - 3 = 0


{\longrightarrow { \pmb{\bf \qquad {x} = 3}}}

So,

  • Option C (x = 3 or x = -13) is correct.
