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

8/f = 56/105 what is f?
svetlana [45]
8/15 = 56/105

This may be solved using proportion.
a/b = c/d
ad = bc   where cross products are equal.

a = 8
b = f
c  = 56
d = 105

ad = bc
8*105 = f*56
840 = 56f
840/56 = 56f/56
f = 15

56 ÷ 7 = 8
105 ÷ 7 = 15

Can someone help me with this math problem? I have no idea where to begin.<br> Solve: |y + 8| ≥ 3
lorasvet [3.4K]
Since y+8 is positive, you don't have to find the absolute value since the absolute value is y+8. all you have to do is find a number that makes the statement true for y. the symbol between next to the 3 asks for a number that is greater or equal to 3. So your answer would be

≥-5

What dose 5h-2+9h equal explain☺
DerKrebs [107]
Start out by combining LIKE TERMS 
5h-2+9h 
in this case 9h and 5h are like terms so you would add both of those together.
9h+5h=14h
-2 has no like terms so we can't do anything with it our final answer would be:
14h-2

Which trigonometric ratio is correct for triangle DEF? (Hint: Use Pythagorean Theorem first) A.) Sin(D)= 24/7 B.) Tan(D)= 24/25
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Cos E= 24/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of hypotenuse: 7^2+24^2=625. 625 square root=25

Thus, DE is 25.

Sin D= 24/25, so that is false.

Tan D= 24/7, so that is false.

Cos E= 24/25, so that is true

Sin E= 7/25, so that is false.
