Darrell is 8 years older then Bryce. If the product of their age is 153,how old is Bryce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is what I did:
\n" ); document.write( "X(x+8)=153
\n" ); document.write( "

First of all, . They are considered 2 different variables.
\n" );
document.write( "Second, you don't need to set up an equation to solve this. All you need are two factors with a product of 153, and a difference of 8.
\n" );
document.write( "If you're familiar with a factor tree, you'll see that the 2 factors that fit these criteria are: 9 and 17. Now, which age is Bryce's?
\n" );
document.write( "OR
\n" );
document.write( "If you prefer to form the equation, and use the quadratic equation formula to get the required age, then that's also fine, but I know, for a fact,
\n" );
document.write( "that the former method is the easiest and the most efficient. \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
