Question

Construct a word problem on quadratic equations (age related problem) so that one answer will be 12 solve the problem you have constructed

Answer 1

Answer:

hey your answer is as follows

so pls mark it as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

so the question is as follows:-

the difference between the present ages of jasprit and trent is 6 years.morever the product of their present ages is 72.find their present ages

Solution:

let the present age of jasprit be x years and that of trent be y years.

so according to first condition

x-y=6

ie x=y+6 (1)

according to second condition

xy=72 (2)

substitute value of x from (1) in (2)

we get (y+6).y=72

ie y square+6y=72

so y square+6y-72=0

ie y square+12y-6y-72=0

so y(y+12)-6(y+12)=0

(y-6)(y+12)=0

so y=6 OR y=-12

but as ages of any person are never negative

y=-12 is absurd

thus y=6

so substitute value of y in any of two equations

we get x=12

thus present age of jasprit is 12 years and that of trent is 6 years

hope it helped u a lot
