What is a quadratic equation?

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.
