Answer 1

Hello, there!

Matthew is 8 years older than his brother. Use b to represent how old Matthew's brother is.

This means that Matthew's brother is 8 years younger than Matthew.

We will let 'M' represent Matthew's age and 'B' represent Matthew's brother's age.

The equation to represent this situation would be:

B = M - 8


I hope I helped!
