Answer:

  27

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find x when c = 120.

  120 = x^2 -24x +39

  x^2 -24x -81 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 120 to put in standard form

  (x -27)(x +3) = 0 . . . . .  .factor it

Solutions are ...

  x = 27, x = -3 . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero

The number of flags manufactured for a cost of $120 is 27 flags.
