 <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

It takes 20 minutes for 5 people to paint 5 walls.
qwelly [4]
It would take 36 minutes. If you use unit rate, you would take 20min/5people and see how many minutes does it take to paint one wall. Which would be represented by 4min/1person. To find how many minutes it would take for 9 walls, you get 4min/1person to become 9 people for the denominator. Then, whatever you do to the denominator you do to the numerator. So, 4 times 9 is 36. Therefore, making the answer 36minutes/9people.
