Ron and Harry have ages that are consecutive odd integers. The product of their ages is 783. So, the ron's age r is 27.
A quadratic equation is the second-order degree algebraic expression in a variable. the standard form of this expression is ax² + bx + c = 0 where a. b are coefficients and x is the variable and c is a constant.
Ron and harry have ages that are consecutive odd integers. The product of their ages is 783.
r is younger
r + 2 = s
product is 783
783 = rs
s = r +2
783 = r(r+2)
So, the quadratic equation form
783 = r^2 + 2r
0 = r^2 + 2r -783
0 = (r -27)(r +29)
set to zero
r-27 = 0
r = 27
and
r + 29 = 0
r = -29
thus, The age of ron is 27 years old.
