One coin is 2 years older than another. In 3 years, the product of their ages will be 35. Find the present ages of the coins. _______ and _______
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "age of 1st coin = y (number of years)
\n" ); document.write( "age of 2nd coin = y+2
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "In 3 years:
\n" ); document.write( "(y+3)*(y+5) = 35
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2+%2B+8y+%2B+15+=+35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2+%2B+8y+-+20+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "(y + 10)*(y - 2) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2 years (ignore the -10)
\n" ); document.write( "2nd coin is 4 years old\r
\n" ); document.write( "
