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.
Answer is -5.
Explanation- Since t equals 0. You put 0 in place of every t.
0(2)- 2(0)- 5 =
0-0-5= -5
2x-3+7x-10=32
9x-13=32
9x=32+13
9x=45
x=5
