Please write x^2, not x2.
If you stretch the graph of y=x^2 vertically by a factor of 4, the resulting graph represents the quadratic function y = 4x^2. It's still a parabola, but appears to be thinner.
This particular question is about horizontal stretching, however. Stretching the graph horizontally by a factor of 4 results in the new function g(x) = (x/4)^2. Try graphing x^2 and also (x/4)^2 on the same set of axes to observe this phenomenon.
The first fish has an integer of -4 and the other fish has an integer of -3.
-3 is greater because -4 is one less of -3. If you put it on a line then -3 is closer to the 0 then -4.

Answer:
It will take 5 weeks for you and your friend to have the same balance
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Your savings expression be
135 + 12x
Your friends savings expression
95 + 20x
Where,
x = number of weeks for you and your friend to have the same balance
Equate the two expressions
135 + 12x = 95 + 20x
Collect like terms
135 - 95 = 20x - 12x
40 = 8x
Divide both sides by 8
40/8 = x
x = 40/8
= 5
x= 5 weeks
Check
Your savings expression
135 + 12x
135 + 12(5)
=135 + 60
= $195
Your friends savings expression
95 + 20x
95 + 20(5)
= 95 + 100
= $195
Therefore, It will take 5 weeks for you and your friend to have the same balance
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 9 and 12 using factor trees. The GCF is 3
Divide each term (9 and 12) over 3
9/3 = 3
12/3 = 4
So 9/12 reduces to 3/4
In other words, 9/12 = 3/4
--------------------------------------
Now focusing on 3/4, we can multiply top and bottom by the same value. Let's say we multiply top and bottom by 5
3*5 = 15
4*5 = 20
So 3/4 = 15/20
--------------------------------------
So two ratios equivalent to 9/12 are 3/4 and 15/20. There are infinitely other ratios that are equivalent.
In short, the answers are 3/4 and 15/20.
