Question

A girl is 6 years younger than her brother. The product of their ages be 2008

Answer 1

Answer:

      brother's age = 50

      girl's age = 50 - 6 = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be age of the brother is x

The girl's age be x-6

their product = x(x-6) = 2008

                                   = x²- 6x - 2008 = 0

                                   = x = - 50 , 50

age wont be in negative

so , brother's age = 50

      girl's age = 50 - 6 = 44
