Step-by-step explanation:
To solve a system of quadratic equations:
- Equal the equations then rearrange so that it is set to zero.
- Use the quadratic formula to solve.
I have done this (see attached workings) but cannot get any of the solutions you've provided. I have even graphed the two functions, and the points of intersection concur with my workings (see attached graph).
2 out of 50 are defective.
Divide 2 by 50: 2/50 = 0.04
Now multiply the total quantity by that:
2000 x 0.04 = 80
80 are likely to be defective.
A 0 will make the right decision
