its a guess and check type question... check my work: 40x14=560 and 14 is 26 away from 40!
The math is correct but you don't get an A+ because, the problem states that Tom is the older one so that Tom must be the 40-year-old and Paul is 14

Anna is 3 years older than Laura the product of their ages is double the sum of their ages how old are they?
Ann is 3 years old and Laura is 6 years old. Explanation: Let L be Laura's age and A be Ann's age. Product means multiply, so LA is the product of their ages The sum of their ages is L+A So we have LA=2(L+A) This simplifies to LA=2L+2A Now we also know L is 3 years older than A so L=3+A So we have (3+A)A=2(3+A)+2A 3A+A^2=6+2A+2A or 3A-4A+A^2-6=0 or A^2-A-6=0 Now we can factor (A-3)(A+2)=0 so A is 3 or -2 3 makes sense, -2 as an age does not. So Ann is 3 Laura is 3 years older so she is 6. Now let's check 3x6=18 And 3+6=9 and 9x2 =18 as desired so it works!
