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.

ss7ja [257]

Step-by-step explanation:

(-11/6) + m = -2/9

m = -2/9 + 11/6

the last common multiple of 9 and 6 is 18.

so, we are bringing both fractions to .../18.

m = -2×2/18 + 11×3/18 = -4/18 + 33/18 = 29/18
