Question

Seema is 5 years older than her brother mac. The product of their ages is 204 years. What is the age of mac?

Answer 1

Answer:

Age of mac =x years

Age of sanya =x+5 yrs

X(x+5)=204

X square +5x =204

X sq +5x -204 =0

By splitting middle term

X sq +17 x -12x -204

X (x +17 ) -12 (x +17)

(x +17) (x-12)

So x =-17 or 12

But age can not be negative

So age of mac =12 years

Sqnya age = 12+5=17 years
