You use lots and lots of math.

I did this last year :))
Answer:
f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The original difference between the pair is 70 - 30 = 40
The new difference between the pair is 95 - 65 = 30
Since the differences are not the same, Mrs Bailey must first perform a (slope) multiplication by a factor of 30/40 or 3/4
Then 30 * 3/4 = 22.5
Then she can shift the scores up by 65 - 22.5 = 42.5 in order to get the range from 65 to 95
Therefore, f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5. We can test that
f(30) = 30*3/4 + 42.5 = 65
f(70) = 70*3/4 + 42.5 = 95
The formula of a slope:
We have the points (-2, 2) and (-4, -2). Substitute:
<h3>Answer: the slope = 2</h3>
If the weight of the little brother is x, then the weight of Charles is x + 9
The equation that can be used to determine what each one weighs is:
x + (x + 9) = 99.
Let us now solve it.
x + x +9 = 99
2x + 9 = 99
2x = 99 - 9
2x = 90
x = 90/2
x = 45
Little brother's weight is 45 kg.
Charles' weight will be 45 + 9 = 54 kg
Adding these two weights will give 99kg
