Let T=Tolu's age
and D=Daniel's age

(1) T = D+5
(2) (T-6)(D-6) = 266

Subs. for T from (1) into (2):
(D+5-6)(D-6) = 266
. . .

D=20 �> T=25
Check: (25-6)(20-6) = (19)(14) = 384 (ok)

Let x = number of years until their age product is 864
(20+x)(25+x) = 864

x=7.
�
Ans: in years the product of Tolu's and Daniel's ages will be 864
�
Check: (20+7)(25+7) = 27*32 = 864
