M=michaels's age now
b=brandon's age now
m-18=michael's age 18 years ago
b-18=brandon's age 1 yeas ago


m is 3 times b
m=3b

18 years ago
m-18=9(b-18)

so
sub 3b for m

3b-18=9(b-18)
distribute
3b-18=9b-162
minus 3b both sides
-18=6b-162
add 162 bot sides
144=6b
divde both sides by 6
24=b

sub back

m=3b
m=3(24)
m=72


brandon is 24 and michale is 72

Solve. (x-4)²=5<br> PLEASE HELP
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-4)^2=5

(x-4)(x-4)=5

x(x-4)-4(x-4)=5

distribute

x^2-4x-4x+16=5

combine like terms

x^2-8x+16=5

move terms to the left and combine

x^2-8x+11=0

use the quadratic formula and simplify

x=-(-8)+/-2 to the square roots of 5 over 2

separate and solve

x=4+ square root of 5

x=4- square root of 5

ANSWER: x=4+/- square root of 5

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point(-6,12) and is parallel to the line y=8
Ugo [173]

Answer:

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 8 is the equation of a horizontal line, parallel to the x- axis.

Thus a parallel line will also be horizontal.

The equation of a horizontal line is

y = c

where c is the y- coordinates of the points it passes through.

The line passes through (- 6, 12) with y- coordinate of 12, thus

y = 12 ← equation of parallel line
