Trying to find the right answer to this..

Let the present age of son be x years. So, present age of father be (35 - x) years. According to question, x(35 - x) = 150 ⇒ 35x – x 2 = 150 ⇒ x 2 – 35x +150 = 0 Therefore, the required representation in the form of quadratic equation be x 2 – 35x + 150 = 0

61. Represent the following situation in the form of a quadratic equation:
The sum of the ages of a son and his father (in years) is 35 and the product of their ages is 150.

Let the present age of son be x years. So, present age of father be (35 - x) years.
According to question,
x(35 - x) = 150
⇒ 35x – x² = 150
⇒ x² – 35x +150 = 0
Therefore, the required representation in the form of quadratic equation be x² – 35x + 150 = 0
