Abigail would be 32 and Cynthia would be 24 now. Twenty years ago, Abigail was 12, and Cynthia was 4. 12 is 3 times as much as 4, and also 4+8=12.
We know that

Therefore

This verifies that Camile's method is justified.
63 two-course meals can be made.
So you subtract 64.50 - 47.10 and it equals 17.4 and then you divide that by 4 and your answer is 4.35
Factorize
(3n + 8) (3n - 8) = 0
3n + 8 = 0 and 3n - 8 = 0
Solve both for n
3n + 8 = 0
3n = -8
n = -8/3
3n - 8 = 0
3n = 8
n = 8/3
Therefore n = -8/3 and n = 8/3
