Sandra Is Twice As Old As Russell Eight Years Ago The Product Of Their Ages Was 10 Find Their Current Ages class=

Sagot :

Eight years ago:

[tex](r - 8)(2r - 8) = 10 [/tex]

Expanding and simplifying:

[tex]2r^2 - 24r + 64 = 10 [/tex]

[tex]2r^2 - 24r + 54 = 0 [/tex]

[tex]r^2 - 12r + 27 = 0 [/tex]

Factoring the quadratic:

[tex](r - 9)(r - 3) = 0 [/tex]

Solutions:

[tex]r = 9 \quad \text{or} \quad r = 3 [/tex]

Only realistic solution:

[tex]{r = 9 }\quad \text{(ages cannot be negative)} [/tex]

Current ages:

[tex]- Russell: ( 9 ) years[/tex]

[tex]- Idra: \( 18 \) \:years[/tex]
