 <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

Solve for x= ax2 + b = c
alekssr [168]

Answer:

x = ± \sqrt{\frac{c-b}{a} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

ax² + b = c ( subtract b from both sides )

ax² = c - b ( divide both sides by a )

x² = \frac{c-b}{a} ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{\frac{c-b}{a} }
