If one number is x the other is 15-x so their product is 15x-x².
This can be written -(x²-15x+225/4)+225/4=(15/2)²-(x-15/2)².
The largest value of this expression is when x=15/2=7.5 so the other number is also 7.5.
Let’s pick two other numbers and check their product: 7 and 8, product=56 but the product of 7.5 and 7.5=56.25 which is larger, therefore the two numbers are 7.5 and 7.5.

A grandsons age in years is equal to his grandfather's age in years. The difference of the grandsons age in years and the grandf
garik1379 [7]

The age of the grandson is 7 years and the grandfather is 84 years if the grandson's age in months is equal to the age of grandpa in years and the difference in age is 77.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let's suppose the age of the grandsons is x years and

age of the grandfather's age is y years

Here some data are misprinted, so we are assuming the grandson's age in months is equal to the age of grandpa in years and the difference in age is 77.

Then according to the problem:

12x = y  (as in 1 year, there are 12 months)

y -x = 77 (as difference in age is 77)

After solving both equations, we get:

x = 7 years and y = 84 years

Thus, the age of the grandson is 7 years and the grandfather is 84 years if the grandson's age in months is equal to the age of grandpa in years and the difference in age is 77.
