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:
Dimensions → (5 inches × 4 inches)
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale factor used for the drawing by Steffie = 
Since, scale factor = 
For Steffie,
Actual length of the crate = 
= 
= 45 inches
Actual width of the crate = 
= 36 inches
Since Brian used the scale factor = 
Length of the drawing = Actual length × Scale factor
= 45 × 
= 5 inches
Width of the drawing = Actual width × Scale factor
= 36 × 
= 4 inches
Therefore, dimensions of the drawing made by Brian are (5 inches × 4 inches)

C = 2m^2 + m
D = 2 - 6m + 2m^2
2C = 2(2m^2 + m) = 4m^2+2m
2D = 2(2-6m+2m^2) = 4-12m+4m^2
2C - 2D =
4m^2+2m-(4-12m+4m^2) =
4m^2+2m-4+12m-4m^2 =
0m^2 + 14m -4 =
14m - 4
