Answer:
{(1,4) (2,8) (3,12) (4,16)}
Square root of 121 is 11.
11-7=4
A side of the original square is 4 feet.
The known facts
- the sum of Natalie's age and Fred's age is 36
- the sum of Fred's age times four and Natalie's age is 72
Now, let's set up the equations where N is Natalie's age and F is Fred's age.
N + F = 36 ---- equation 1
N + 4F = 72 ---- equation 2
equation 2 minus equation 1 ---> 3F = 36 ---> F = 12, thus N = 24
Thus Fred is 12 years old, and Natalie is 24 years old.
The second one would be the answer. You want to plug in for this question. You can divide over the five leaving you with (x-2)^2 =25. Since you are squaring this answer, you want to get either 5 or negative five. Both -3 and 7 will do that.
