let x be the father's age and y be the son's age, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1) x + y = 41
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2) xy = 210
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "solve equation 1 for x and substitute for x in equation 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 41 - y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(41-y)y = 210
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "41y -y^2 = 210
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 -41y +210 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(y-35) * (y-6) = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = 35 or 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "there are two possible answers
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1) father is 35 and son is 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2) father is 6 and son is 35
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we reject answer 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
