Answer:
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 :)
