The difference in Alex and Toni’s ages is 5. The product of their ages is 104.
If Alex is older, how old is Toni?
-----------
They're 8 & 13
======================
You can do it the long way:
x = Toni's age
---
x*(x+5) = 104
x%5E2+%2B+5x+-+104+=+0
At this point, you factor 104 and get x = 8. More steps to do the same.
