Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

A = B + 2

C = B - 3

A x C = 66

A = Andrew

C = Chris

B = Beatrice

Multiply A and c together

(B + 2) x (b - 3)

b^2 - 3b + 2b - 6

b^2 -b - 6 = 66

b^2 - b - 72 = 0

factors of -72b^2 that add up to - b are -9b + 8b

b^2 + 8b -9b - 72

b (b + 8) -9(b + 8)

b = 9 or - 8

b = 9
