Question

Mel is thrice as old as Rahfat. The product of their ages is 75.

a) If Rahfat is x years old, write down Mel's age in terms of x.

b) Form an equation in x and solve it to find the age of Mel and Rahfat

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Let the age of Rafat be x.

Then Mel's age will be 3x.

b) x*3x=75

3x²=75

x²=75/3

x²=25

x=√25

x=5.

Therefore Mel's age is 3x=3*5=15 years old.

and Rafat's age is x=5 years old.
