Harry is 6 years older than his cousin Carl, and the product of their ages is 9 less than 16 times the sum of their ages. How old is each?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "H = C + 6
\n" ); document.write( "H*C = 16(H + C) - 9
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "(C+6)*C = 16*(C+6 + C) - 9
\n" ); document.write( "C^2 + 6C = 32C + 96 - 9
\n" ); document.write( "C^2 - 26C - 87 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(C-29)*(C+3) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "C = 29 ---- ignore the -3
\n" ); document.write( "H = 35
\n" ); document.write( "
