Question 1030607: The Sum of me and my brother's age is 60.
The product of our age is 891.
Find our ages.
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+y=60
xy=891
x=60-y
so (60-y)*y=891
60y-y^2=891
y^2-60y+891=0
factors of 9/99 don't work but 27 and 33 do
(x-27)(x-33)=0
one is 27, and the other is 33.
