Let Natalie be x, and Fred, y.
So based on 1st condition, we get
x + y =43         - Equation 1   
â´ x = 43-y - Equation 2
Now based on 2nd condition, we get
44x+y=88
Using x from Equation 2, we get
44(43-y) + y = 88
â´ 44x43 - 44y + y = 88
â´ 1892 -44y + y = 88
â´ -44y + y = 88 - 1892
â´ 43y =1804
â´ y = 1804/43
â´ y = 41.95

Using the value of y in Equation 2
x = 43 - 41.95
â´ x = 1.05

So Natalie is 1.05 yrs and Fred is 41.95 yrs old.

A rectangle has a width of 5 yd and a length of 9 yd.
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Option The area is increased by a factor of 16

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to scale factor squared

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x------> the area of the dilated rectangle

y------> the area of the original rectangle

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=4 ------> is an enlargement

so

substitute

4^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

16=\frac{x}{y}

x=16y

therefore

The area is increased by a factor of 16

victus00 [196]

Amount of money received when x tickets are sold=$Y

Number of tickets sold=X

Slope of line= \frac{1}{4}

And , y- intercept = 8

Equation of line having slope m and y-intercept c is given by,

  y = m x + c,

Expressing the above statement in terms of linear equation in two variable i.e a line is

  Y = \frac{1}{4}X + 8

Write a third-degree polynomial function whose zeros are 1, −3, and 4.
WARRIOR [948]
Recall that zeroes can be transformed into factors by subtracting them from x. This gives us the following factors:

(x - 1)(x + 3)(x - 4)

Now, if you multiply the first two factors together, you get the following:

(x² + 2x - 3)

Multiply that by the last factor, (x - 4), and you get this:

(x³ + 2x² - 3x - 4x² - 8x + 12)

This can be simplified:

(x³ - 2x² - 11x + 12)

And there's your final answer. Hope this helped!
