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.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

let the price of pizza and soda( per 2 litre bottle) be x and y

from 1st condition

12x+2y=137.6.....(1)

from 2nd condition

x+y =11.95.......(2)

multiply eq. (2) by 2

2x+2y=23.9.....(3)

subtracting (1) and (3)

12x+2y=137.6

2x+2y= 23.9

10x = 113.7

x=113.7/10

x=11.37

2(11.37)+2y=23.9

22.74+2y=23.9

2y=23.9-22.7

2y=1.2

y=0.6

So the prices of  the pizza and soda are 11.37 and 0.6 dollars.
