F=2+b
12 years ago
f-12=2(b-12)
f=2+b
2+b-12=2(b-12)
b-10=2b-24
minus b both sides
-10=b-24
add24
14=b

14-12=2
2+2=4

freddy was 4 and brother was 2

The Johnson twins were born nine years after their older sister. This year, the product of the three siblings ages is exactly 18

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: The age of the twins is 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the age of older sister be x

Let the age of twins sister be x-9, as they are born after 9 years.

Product of their ages be

$x(x-9)(x-9)\\\\=x(x^2-18x+81)\\\\=x^3-18x^2+81x$

Sum of their ages will be

$x+x-9+x-9\\\\=3x-18$

According to question,

$1861+3x-18=x^3-18x^2+81x\\\\x^3-18x^2+81x-3x+18-1861=0\\\\x^3-18x^2+78x-1843=0\\\\x=19$

So, Age of older sister will be 19 years.

Age of the twins will be

$19-9=10\ years$

Hence, the age of the twins is 10 years.
