Answer:
<h2>3500</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ratio of the profit, cost of materials and labour in the production of
an article to be 5:7:13 respectively, total ratio = 5+7+13 = 25
If the cost of labour is x, the cost of material will be 840+x (since the cost of materials is Le 840 more than that of labour) .
Let the total cost of producing the article be y.
Cost of labour = 13/25 * y = x
Cost of labour = 13y/25 = x.................... 1
Cost of material = 7/25*y = 840+x
Cost of material = 7y/25 = 840+x ..................... 2
From 1, 13y = 25x
x = 13y/25 ................... 3
Substituting equation 3 into 2:
7y/25 = 840+x
7y/25 = 840+13y/25
collect the like terms:
7y/25 - 13y/25 = 840
-6y/25 = 840
-6y = 25*840
y = 25*840/6
y = 3,500
<em>Hence the total cost of producing the article is 3500</em>

Answer:
X=(-1.5, 7.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4x2 + -24x + -45 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0
Solving
-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor a trinomial.
(-3 + -2x)(15 + -2x) = 0
Set the factor '(-3 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-3 + -2x = 0
Solving
-3 + -2x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + -2x = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -2x = 0 + 3
-2x = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-2x = 3
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -1.5
Simplifying
x = -1.5
Set the factor '(15 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
15 + -2x = 0
Solving
15 + -2x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-15' to each side of the equation.
15 + -15 + -2x = 0 + -15
Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0
0 + -2x = 0 + -15
-2x = 0 + -15
Combine like terms: 0 + -15 = -15
-2x = -15
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 7.5
Simplifying
x = 7.5
Solution
x = {-1.5, 7.5}
