Es of two children are 11 and 8 years. In how many years' time will the product of
The
their ages be 208?

In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208

Step-by-step explanation:

The age of two children is 11 and 8 years.

Let's call x the number of years ahead.

We need to find when the product of their future ages is 208. The 11 years old child will be 11+x years old and the other child will be 8+x years, thus:

(11+x)(8+x)=208

Operating:

Simplifying:

Factoring:

(x-5)(x+24)=0

Solving:

x=5, x=-24

The negative solution is not valid, thus x=5

In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208

uhhh idk u yolo?
