Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation: You can start by setting this up as an equation, where X is Brooke’s age.

X + 2(x)+ 3 = 30

The 2(X) + 3 signifies the part of the problems identifying that Mia is twice her sisters age plus 3 years.

Combine x’s

3x + 3 = 30

Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the x term

3x= 27

Divide both sides by 3 to reduce to a single x

X= 9 , which is brooke’s age

Suppose a is jointly proportional to b and c. if a=4 when b=8 and c = 9, then what is a when b=2 and c=18
asambeis [7]

From the given information, a exists jointly proportional to b and c.

then $$a \propto b c$

Therefore, the value of a exists 2.

<h3>What is the value of a?</h3>

Given, a exists jointly proportional to b and c.

$$a \propto b c$

Taking K as the constant of proportionality.

a = K b c

For b = 8 and c = 9, the value of a = 4

4 = K(8)(9)

4 = 72 K

Dividing the equation by 72, we get

$K=\frac{1}{18}

Using the value of K in the equation:

$a=\frac{b c}{18}

Substitute the values of b = 2 and c = 18, in the above equation

$a=\frac{2 \times 18}{18} \\

a = 2

Therefore, the value of a exists 2.

HELP ME AND YOU'LL GET 95 POINTS ASAP
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: See explanation. Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change, subtract then divide. This is especially a good strategy when you have the x and y values when x = 0:

604 - 460 = 144

144 divided by 18 =

8

Therefore, the rate of change is 8. We can even go further to create an equation for this:

y intercept = 460 (because 0 multiplied by the rate of change would be 0).

slope = 8

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b --> y = 8x + 460

Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

neonofarm [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

length \: of \: rectangle \\ l = 5 \frac{1}{3} \:  inches =  \frac{16}{3}  \:inches  \\  \\ width \: of \: rectangle \:  \\ w =  \frac{2}{3}  \: inch \\  \\ area \: of \: rectangle \\  = l \times w \\  \\  = \frac{16}{3}  \times \frac{2}{3} \\  \\  =  \frac{32}{9}  \\  \\ \red{ \boxed{  \therefore  area \: of \: rectangle = 3 \frac{5}{9}  \:  {inch}^{2} }}
