Answer:
Will's age = 9 years
Bill's age = 11years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let will age = x
Bill = x +2 since he is 2 years older
x(x+2) = 5( x +x+2) - 1
Opening brackets
x² + 2x = 5(2x + 2) - 1
x² + 2x = 10x + 10 - 1
x² + 2x = 10x + 9
Collect like terms
x² + 2x - 10x - 9 = 0
x² - 8x - 9 = 0
Solve quadratically using factorisation method by finding two factors of +9 that can add up to give -8, the coefficient of x.
The factors are -9 and +1
x² + x - 9x - 9 = 0
x(x + 1) -9( x +1)
x+1) (x -9) =0
x + 1 = 0 or x -9 =0
x = -1 or 9
Age can not be negative
Therefore,
Will's age = 9 years
Bill's age = x+2 = 9+2 = 11years

give me brainly
am i correct? let me know
I don't know for sure I'm going to ace grade next year but I know that you you need to put the coefficients with the same variable together and the variable next to the coefficients and multiply or add or divide or subtract them and you get your answer and this is just 7th grade math I'm relying on
