The correct Answer is:
To determine the value of \( x \) from the given equations, we will analyze each equation step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Equation 1 The first equation provided is: \[ x^2 - 18x + 81 = 0 \] This is a quadratic equation in standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), where: - \( a = 1 \) - \( b = -18 \) - \( c = 81 \) ### Step 2: Factor the Quadratic Equation To solve the equation, we can factor it. We need to find two numbers that multiply to \( c \) (which is 81) and add up to \( b \) (which is -18). The numbers that satisfy this are: - \( -9 \) and \( -9 \) (since \( -9 \times -9 = 81 \) and \( -9 + -9 = -18 \)) Thus, we can factor the equation as: \[ (x - 9)(x - 9) = 0 \] or simply: \[ (x - 9)^2 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( x \) Setting the factored equation to zero gives: \[ x - 9 = 0 \] Thus, solving for \( x \) yields: \[ x = 9 \] ### Step 4: Analyze Equation 2 The second equation provided is: \[ P + Q + R = 0 \] This equation does not contain the variable \( x \) and does not provide any information about \( x \). Therefore, it is not sufficient to determine the value of \( x \). ### Conclusion From the analysis: - Equation 1 is sufficient to find the value of \( x \) (which is 9). - Equation 2 is not sufficient to find \( x \). Thus, the correct answer is: **A) Only 1 is sufficient.** ---
