Question

The square root of Eve's age is two more than the square root of Jamil's age. If Jamil is 9 years old, how old is Eve?

Answer 1

Jamil is 9 years old.
The square root of Jamil's age is √9=3.
Eve's age is x.
The square root of Eve's age is two more than the square root of Jamil's age.


`√(x)=3+2 \\ √(x)=5 \\ (√(x))^2=5^2 \\ x=25`

Eve is 25 years old.
