Ravi distributes 90 sweets equally among children. If there were 3 fewer children, each child would get 1 extra sweet. Let the number of children be x. Which quadratic models this?

Question

Accepted Answer

x^2 - 3x - 270 = 0. 90/x-3 - 90/x = 1. So 90x - 90(x-3) = x(x-3), 270 = x^2 - 3x, giving x^2 - 3x - 270 = 0.
