Question

Rohans mother is 26 years older than him the product of their ages (in years) 3 years from now will be 360 we would like to find rohans present age

Answer 1

Let Rohan's age be x

Then his mother's age = x + 26

After 3 years their ages will be x+3 and x + 29

Its produce  = (x+3)(x+29) = x² + 32x + 87 = 360

x² + 32x + 87 - 360 = 0

x² + 32x - 273 = 0

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

x = -39 or x = 7

So Rohan's present age = 7

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Rohan be x and his mother's age (x+26)

A/Q, x(x+26) = 360

x^2 + 26x - 360= 0

x^2 + 36x-10x -360 = 0

x( x + 36) -10( x+ 36)= 0

(x-10) (x+36) = 0

x=10

Therefore, Rohan's age= 10 years

His Mothers Age= 36 years
