please ......answer iv bit

Answer 1

Hi ,

At present
_________

Rohan's age = x years

Mother's age = ( x + 26 ) years

After 3 years
__________

Rohan's age = ( x + 3 ) years

Mother's age = ( x + 26 + 3 )

= ( x + 29 ) years

According to the problem given,

( x + 3 ) ( x + 29 ) = 360

x² + 32x + 87 = 360

x² + 32x + 87 - 360 = 0

x² + 32x - 273 = 0

x² + 39x - 7x - 7 × 39 = 0

x ( x + 39 ) - 7 ( x + 39 ) = 0

( x + 39 ) ( x - 7 ) = 0

x + 39 = 0 or x - 7 = 0

x = - 39 or x = 7

Age should not be negative ,

Therefore ,

x = 7

At present
________

Rohan's age = x = 7 years

Mother's age = x + 26

= 7 + 26

= 33 years

I hope this helps you.
