Let's try to do this with a little guess and check.
We'll use numbers easily divided by 3 for the older brother's age.
If the older brother is 30, the younger brother is 16.  (30 + 16 = 46)
Now, we check that with the 10 + 1/3 the older brother's age.
30 ÷ 3 = 10
10 + 10 = 20
20 > 16
That one doesn't work.
Let's try 24 for the older brother's age.
That means the younger brother would be 22, because 24 + 22 = 46.
24 ÷ 3 = 8
8 + 10 = 18
18 < 22
That one doesn't work, either.
We'll try one more. If the older brother is 27, the younger brother would be 19. (27 + 19 = 46)
27 ÷ 3 = 9
9 + 10 = 19
19 = 19
This one fits all the requirements of the problem.
That means that the answer to the question of "how old is the younger brother?" is
The younger brother is 19 years old.

Brainliest + Points!<br><br> Please explain !
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

A) -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that for a slope, the slope of the line is found by using the equation:

slope = (rise/run).

In this case, find two points. For example, i will use:

(0, 2) & (5, 0). (x = 0, y = 2) ; (x = 5, y = 0)

Note that "rise" = y, and "run" = x. Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding points.

(2 - 0)/(0 - 5) = slope

Simplify

(2)/(-5) = slope

-(2/5) is your answer.

Note that it does not matter where the negative sign is placed.

Find the area of each composite figure. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. Whats the correct label?
GuDViN [60]

Step-by-step explanation:

Square= bh

Square= 2×2=

half-circle = 1/2Pi*r×r

half-circle 2 = 1/2Pi*r×r

We would put 1/2 for the half-circle because its half of a circle. And we square it because where finding area. The middle is square, and the two up top is half a circle. Hope that helps :D
