Answer:
<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Age of Paul = x
Age of Selena = x -6
Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:
x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)
x + 15 = 4x - 24
x - 4x = -24 - 15
- 3x = -39
x = 13
<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>

Mary is incorrect. Perimeter is not proportional to area. An example which you can use is garden A is an 8 by 1 rectangle. The perimeter is 18 while the area is 8. Graden B is a 4 by 4 square. The perimeter is 16 (less than garden A) while the area is 16 (two times more than garden B).
I'd do 9x4=36 because the 9 is from your money and the 4 is from your books. Now since you want to find out how much 4 books cost you just multiply that by 9
