Let Rohan's age be x ....... Therefore Rohan's mom's age is x+26...... Now Roahn age after 3 yrs x+3 and his mothers age after three years x+29...... Now we know (x+3)(x+29) = 360 ...... ... x²+3x+29x+87 = 360 ...... x²+32x+87=360 ....... x²+32x=360-87 ...... = 273 x(x+32)=273 After solving we get x=7 So, age of Rohan = 7 yrs The solution for how to get x is
Take one factor of the equation x²+32x-273 = 0 First factorise .... Factors are x-7 and x+32 ...... So take any one factor and solve it and you will get two solutions of the quadratic equation...... X-7.....x=7 And x+32.....x=-32 Now put your logic age can't be in minus so x=7 is correct solution for this question...Hence solved।

Answer:
Here is ur answer!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Rohan present age be x years. Then, his mother's age is (x+26) years.
Rohan's age after 3 years =(x+3) years
After 3 years the age of Rohan's mother=(x+26+3)years=(x+29) years
It is given that after 3 years from now, the product of Rohan's and his mother's ages will be 360 years
∴(x+3)(x+29)=360⇒x
2+32x−273=0....answer
This is the required equation.
∴(x+39)(x−7)=0
∴x=−39 and x=7
∴x=7.......(∵ x can not be negative)
∴ Mother's present age=7+26=33....answer
