12b-8b=16
4b=16/4
b=4

therefore b is 4

One brother says of his younger brother: “Two years ago, I was three times as old as my brother was. In three years’ time, I wil

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years

Then, my age was 3x

Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years

And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years

But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.

So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)

or, x= 5 years

So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years

And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years

What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit that has two loads? Load one has a resistance of 10 ohms. Load two has a resi

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The total resistance is $7.0588\Omega$

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached please find the circuit diagram. The circuit is composed by a voltage source and two resistors connected in parallel: $R_1=10\Omega$ and $R_2=24\Omega$ .

First step: find the total current

For finding the current that the voltage source can provide, you must find the current consumed by each load and then add both. To do that, take first into account that the voltage is the same for both resistors ( $R_1$ and $R_2$ ).
