Fred is 4 times as old as Nathan and is also 27 years older than Nathan.
Let f be Fred's age and let n be Nathan's age.

Which system of equations represents this situation?

Answer:

f = 4n

f = n+27

Fred is 36 years old and Nathan is 9 years old.

n = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Ooh I love these type of problems

Okay, here we go :

f = Fred and n = Nathan

  f = 4n

  f = n + 27

Above are the two equations (the words translated into algebra)

Now you can solve using substitution (any method works, but substitution is easiest for this problem)

4n = n + 27

3n = 27

n = 9

Since n = 9 substitute n into either equation

f = 4 * 9

f = 36

Fred is 36 and Nathan is 9

lol :)
