m Mother
y Son


{{{system(m+y=63,(m-4)(y-4)=484)}}}


{{{m=63-y}}}
-
{{{(63-y-4)(y-4)=484}}}
{{{(-y+59)(y-4)=484}}}
{{{(y-59)(y-4)=-484}}}
{{{y^2-63y+59*4+484=0}}}

{{{y^2-63y+720=0}}}

{{{y=(63+- 33)/2}}}

{{{system(y=15,pr,y=48)}}}--------son can only be one of these, the youngest.


Son 15
Mother 48
