x2 - 5x + 6 = 0
(X-2)(X-3) = 0
X-2 = 0 implies X = 2
X-3 = 0 implies X = 3
∴ x ≤ 2, x ≥ 3

a = a(base ∠s of Iss Δ)
∴ a+a+74 = 180
2a + 74 = 180
2a = 180-74
2a = 106
a = 53
∴∠OPQ = 53${}^{\circ }$

2 x s = 280o(Angle at centre = 2 x < at circum)

S = $\frac{{280}^o}{2}$

= 140

< O = 360 - 280 = 80o

60 + 80 + 140 + a = 360o

(< in a quad); 280 = a = 360

a = 360 - 280

a = 80o

mΔn = m+n+mn
Let e be the identity element
∴mΔe = eΔm = m
m+e+me = m
e+me = m-m
e+me = 0
e(1+m) = 0
e = 0 / (1+m)
e = 0

(x2 + x - 12) $\ge$ 0 , (x - 3)(x + 4) $\ge$ 0
For the condition to hold, each of (x - 3) and (x + 4) must be of the same sign
.i.e. x - 3 $\ge$ 0 and x + 4 $\ge$ 0
or x - 3$\le$ 0 and x + 4 $\le$ 0
when x $\ge$ 3, the condition is satisfied
when x $\ge$ -4, the condition is not satisfied.
when x $\le$ 3, the condition is not satisfied
when x $\le$ -4 , the condition is not satisfied. Thus, the solution of the inequality is x $\ge$ 3 or x $\le$ -4 ,
