Bethany, Lauren, Amanda, and David all meet at a family reunion. They are comparing their ages. They have found that Lauren is 1

3 years older than Bethany and David is 11 years older than Amanda. They also found that the product of Bethany's and Lauren's ages is equal to twice Amanda's age. Also, if they subtract 20 years from both Bethany's and Lauren's age, the product is equal to David's age.

As stated in the question 
Bethany - x
Amanda - y
the relationships are 
Lauren is 13 years older than Bethany 
Laurens age = x + 13
David is 11 years older than Amanda 
Davids age = y + 11
product of Bethany's and Laurens ages equal to twice Amandas age 
x * (x+13) = 2y
x² + 13x = 2y
divide all by 2
x²/2 + 13/2x = y
if they subtract 20 from Bethany and Laurens, then product is equal to Davids age
(x-20)(x+13-20) = y +11
(x-20)(x-7) = y+11
x² -7x -20x+140 = y+11
x² -27x +129 = y

the 2 equations to determine the relationships are 
y = x²/2 + 13/2x 
y = x² -27x +129
the first option is correct

How many different 4 color code stripes can be made on a sports car if each code consists of the colors green, red, blue, and wh
Akimi4 [234]
From the list of colors: green, red, blue, and white, there are four colors. The concept that should be used in order to determine the number of 4-color code stripes that can be drawn in the sports car is the concept of BASIC PRINCIPLE OF COUNTING.

The equations that would best help us in answering the question is,
                         n = 4! (that is, four factorial)
For the first pick, there are four choices. When one is already used then, there are only 3 choices for the second color, and so on until the last color. 
                         n = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24
Thus, there are 24 types of 4-color codes.
