Answer: Brandon is 24, Michael is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent Michael

Let b represent Brandon

Then,

m = 3b                    <-----------"Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon."  

m - 18 = 9(b - 18)    <-----------"18 years ago, Michael was 9 times as old as Brandon."  

3b - 18 = 9b - 162

-18 = 6b - 162

144 = 6b

Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon. Also, 18 years ago, Brandon would have been 6 and Michael would have been 54 meaning Michael was 9 times as old as Brandon 18 years ago.

1. Correct answer is a (since when you are not given the n values, it is implied that the first value is 1). 
3. Correct answer is a (a(n)=-3+4(1-1)=-3).
 7. The pattern is to reduce the previous value by 4, thus the 12th term of the sequence is -24 (a(n)=20 - 4(n-1)=20 - 4(12-1)=-24).
 8. Missing term is 26 (32+20=52; 52/2=26).
 10. Pattern is 625/1=625; 625/5=125; 125/5=25; 25/5=5, thus. the 10th term is 1/3125 (answer a).
