3(3x+8)=4(2x+8)
9x+24=8x+32
x=8
2(8)=16
3(8)=24
that means that the younger brother is 16 years old
The amount of money, b, is $140.
F(x) is the same as y. so you’d choose two coordinates and do y2-y1 over x2-x1. id recommend doing that with whole numbers, no decimals. by doing that you get your slope.
Explanation:
Step 1) Add
4
