Step-by-step explanation:
Let sister's age=x and brother's age=y
y-x=5...... (1)
xy=6 (x+y)......(2)
From equation (1)......y=5+x
Put value of y in (2)equation......x (5+x)=6 (x+5+x)
=5x+xx=12x+30
=xx-7x-30=0
Factor......xx-10x+3x-30=0
x(x-10)+3(x-10)=0
(x+3) (x-10)=0
x=10 years (sister's age)
brother's age=10+5=15 years
