Answer»

Answer:

no. of potteries is 8

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

no. of potteries be x

cost of total PRODUCTION of a day = rs 168

cost of each potteries = rs 2x + 5

A/Q

(no. of article)(cost of each) = total cost

(x)(2x + 5) = 168

2x^2 + 5X = 168

2x^2 + 5x - 168 = 0

2x^2 + 21X - 16x - `168 = 0

x( 2x + 21) - 8 (2x + 21) = 0

(x -8)(2x + 21) = 0

now, x - 8 = 0 and 2x + 21 = 0

x = 8 and x = -21/2

since no. of  potteries can not be -ve

therefore  x = 8 and no. of potteries is 8
