 <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

You are downloading songs to your mp3 player the ratio of pop songs to rock songs is 5 to 4 you download 40 pop songs how many r
dmitriy555 [2]
The ratio of pop songs to rock songs you download is 5:4, and 40 are pop songs. You want to find out how many rock songs there are.
First, add the ratios together: 5+4=9. This means that 9 will be your denominator, so 5/9 songs are pop and 4/9 songs are rock.
Now you know that pop songs account for 5/9 of the songs, this means that 40 is 5/9 of the total songs. 
To find out how much 4/9 is, you need to divide 40 by 5 to get 1/9 and times that number by 4 to get 4/9:
40÷5=8×4=32 songs are rock songs

Find the equation of the circle with center at the origin that contains the point (-8,6)
Katena32 [7]
The center is at origin O(0,0).
If it contains the point, P(-8,6), then the radius r is, by Pythagoras theorem,
r=sqrt((-8)^2+6^2)=10

The general equation of a circle at centre (xc,yc) with radius r is given by
(x-xc)^2+(y-yc)^2=r^2

Substituting r=10, (xc,yc)=(0,0)
the resulting equation is therefore

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=10^2
or simply
x^2+y^2=100
