Answer:
nonlinear
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
Susan and Steven are cousins. The sum of their ages is 33. The difference between three times Steven's age and half of Susan's age is 36. Find <span>the age of Susan and Steven
let
x-----> </span>Susan's age
y----> Steven's age
we know that
y+x=33-----> equation 1
3y-x/2=36----> multiply by 2----> 6y-x=72----> equation 2
adds equation 1 and equation 2
y+x=33
6y-x=72
-------------+
7y=105--------> y=15
x=33-y----> x=33-15----> x=18
the answer is
Susan's age is 18
Steven's age is 15
Product of two consecutive integer so this mean that x and y but y = x+1 than
x(x+1)=1332
x^2 +x -1332 =0 so bc. you get 36*37=1332 and 37x-36x=x so you can rewriting this quadratic factorized completlie
x^2 +x -1332 = 0
(x+37)(x-36)=0
x+37=0
x=-37 so the larger integer result that will be 37
I think the answer is 6 and 5 because 6+5=11 and 6-5=1
