(2x+1)=Jeremy´s age
(2x+3)=Sam´s age.
we suggest this equation:
(2x+1)(2x+3)=783
4x²+6x+2x+3=783
4x²+8x-780=0
x²+2x-195=0

We solve this quadratic equation:
x=[-2⁺₋√(4-4*1*(-195))]/2=(-2⁺₋28)/2

x₁=(-2-28)/2=-15 this solution is not valid.
x₂=(-2+28)/2=13

Jeremy´s age=2x+1=2*13+1=27
Sam´s age=2x+3=2*13+3=29
