 <span>let x = age of younger bro 
ley y = age of older bro 

x/y = 2/3 ----> x = 2y/3 eq.1 
x+8 / y+8 = 3/4 eq.2 

sub eq.1 into eq.2: 

(2y/3) + 8 / y+8 = 3/4 
(2y+24)/3 / y+8 = 3/4 
2y + 24 / 3(y+8) = 3/4 
2y+24 / 3y+24 = 3/4 
4(2y+24) = 3(3y+24) 
8y+96 = 9y+72 
24=y 

x=2y/3=2*24/3=16

Plz help GET LOTS OF POINTS!!!!!!
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

slope = 3/2

y intercept = 2

y = 3/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope you will you (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)

(11-5) ÷ (6-2) =

6 ÷ 4 = 3/2

slope = 3/2

to find the y intercept you with use the slope intercept formula (y = mx+ b) and use one point given for x and y

for the example im going to use the point (2,5)

5 = 3/2 (2) + b

5 = 3 + b

subtract three from both sides to find b (y-intercept)

b = 2
