Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let present age of
Dylan=x
Renee=y
x+y=57
9 years ago
x-9=2(y-9)=2y-18
x=2y-18+9=2y-9
so 2y-9+y=57
3y=57+9=66
y=66/3=22
x+22=57
x=57-22=35
Dylan's present age=35 years
The answer depends on the perspective; however, this question is often meant to be a "trick question"; with the answer being: 2 (two) apples!
_______________________________________________
The rationale behind this answer is that if there are three apples, but you "take 2 away" you now have "2" apples, because YOU are the one who "took away the 2 apples"—so presumably, YOU have the "2 apples" that YOU "took away"!

Answer: 4 square inches</h3>
Explanation:
Square the linear scale factor to get 5^2 = 25
This means that,
new area = 25*(old area)
We take this idea in reverse to find the old area
old area = (new area)/25
old area = (100 sq inches)/25
old area = 4 square inches
