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

NEED HELP ASAP !!!!!!!!

Answer: Stephon can buy total 4 chips bag and 2 candy bar

Step-by-step explanation:Given as :

The money which Stephon has in his pocket = $ 12

The cost of one chips bag = $ 2.25

The cost of one candy bar = $ 1.50

The total number of items he can buy = 6

So, Let the number of chips bag he can buy = x

∴ The number of candy bar he can buy = 6 - x

Now, according to question

The number of chips bag×The cost of one chips bag + The number of candy bar×The cost of one candy bar = $ 12

Or, x × $ 2.25 + (6-x) × $ 1.50 = $ 12

Or,  x × $ 2.25 + 9 -  x × $ 1.50 = $ 12

or,  x × $ 0.75 = 12 - 9

or, x =  = 4

The number of chips bag he can buy = x = 4

And The number of candy bar he can buy = 6 - x = 6 - 4 = 2

Hence Stephon can buy total 4 chips bag and 2 candy bar .

How would the sum of cubes formula be used to factor x3y3 + 343? Explain the process. Do not write the factorization.
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Given : Expression -x^3y^3+343

To find : How would the sum of cubes formula be used to factor given expression? Explain the process. Do not write the factorization.

Solution :

The formula of sum of cubes is,

a^3+b^3=\left(a+b\right)\left(a^2-ab+b^2\right)

First we convert the given expression in a^3+b^3

x^3y^3+343

Apply exponent rule : a^mb^m=(ab)^m

x^3y^3=(xy)^3

Rewrite 343=7^3

Therefore, x^3y^3+343  could be written as =\left(xy\right)^3+7^3

On comparison with the formula,

a=xy , b=7

\left(xy\right)^3+7^3=(xy+7)(xy^2-xy(7)+7^2)

\left(xy\right)^3+7^3=(xy+7)((xy)^2-7xy+49)

Anna71 [15]
Slope = (10-1)/(1+2) = 9/3 = 3

y = mx + b
1 = 3(-2) +b
1 = -6 + b
b = 7

equation

y = 3x + 7  
or
3x - y = -7

answer is <span>3x − y = −7 (first choice)</span>
