If I multiply my age (a) when I was 20 years younger with my age when I am 6 years older I get 5760 how old am I?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(a-20)*(a+6) = 5760
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 + 6a - 20a - 120 = 5760
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 - 14a - 120 - 5760 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 - 14a - 5800 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "You can use the quadratic formula to solve this, but it will factor to
\n" ); document.write( "(a-84)(a+70) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "the positive solution
\n" ); document.write( "a = 84 is your present age
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that checks out
\n" ); document.write( "64 * 90 = 5760
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
