Answer: Elaine=13 years old Tyler=21 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Elaine's age, so her brother Tyler's age = x+8
Elaine+Tyler=34
x+(x+8)=34
2x+8=34
2x=26
x=13
Elaine=13 years old
Tyler=21 years old

Answer:
<em>m </em>=<em> </em>1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use two points on the line given.
(0 , 2) & (-4 , 0)
You are solving for the slope. The slope formula:
<em>m</em> (slope) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Let:
(x₁ , y₁) = (-4 , 0)
(x₂ , y₂) = (0 , 2)
Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:
<em>m</em> = (2 - 0)/(0 - (-4))
Simplify:
<em>m</em> = (2)/( 0 - (-4))
<em>m</em> = (2)/(0 + 4)
<em>m</em> = 2/4
Simplify the slope. Divide the common factor 2 from both the numerator and denominator:
<em>m</em> = (2/4)/(2/2) = 1/2
1/2 is your slope.

Answer:
f(x) = (x -3)^2 - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 8
a = 1, b = -6 and c = 8
So we are finding half of the b equation (ignore the negative sign)
Half of 6 is 3, so we are going to square 3 (3^2 = 9) and add 9 to the left side and subtract 9 to the right side
(x) = (x^2 - 6x + 9) + (8 - 9)
You can tell the polynomial is a perfect square, so we will have to factor it using the perfect square method
(x^2 - 6x + 9)
square toot of x^2 is x and square root of 9 is 3 and the operation sign after the a number is a minus sign
(x -3)^2
Don't forget the rest of the equation from before
(x -3)^2 + (8 - 9)
(x -3)^2 - 1
So the equation is f(x) = (x -3)^2 - 1
