Question

7. The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 45 years. Five years ago, the product
of their ages was 34. Find their present ages.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation of Answer:

let ages of son and father be x and 45-x

(x-5)(45-x-5)=34

(x-5)(40-x)=34

40x-200-x^2+5x=34

-x^2+45x-234=0

x^2-45x+234=0

(x^2-6x) (-39x+234)

x(x-6)  -39(x-6)

=(x-39) (x-6)

x=39 or x=6

age of son is 6 and age of father is 39
