Let, Rehman's present age be years.
= ( x - 3 ) years
= ( x + 5 ) years
A.T.Q.
Cross Multiplication
3 ( 2x + 2 ) = x² + 2x - 15
6x + 6 = x² + 2x - 15
x² + 2x - 6x - 15 - 6 = 0
x² - 4x - 21= 0
By Middle Term Factorisation
x² - 7x + 3x - 21 = 0
Taking common
x ( x - 7 ) + 3 ( x - 7 ) = 0
( x - 7 ) ( x + 3 ) = 0
Using Zero Product Rule
x - 7 = 0 and x + 3 = 0
x = 7 and x = - 3
Age can't be negative.
