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.

qaws [65]

Well lets remember that a square has four sides that are all equal.

So if we know one side, we know them all!

And perimeter is all of the sides added up.

Well.. 4 sides that are all 9 meters long? here's the math!

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36

Your coffee shop is 36 meters long

Good Luck! :)

Anyone know the answer to this?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle ABD = Angle CBD + Angle ABC

You know ABD is 70, CBD and ABC are in terms of x

70 = 5x + 13 + 3x + 33

70 - 13 - 33 = 8x

24 = 8x

3 = x

Replacing x in Angle ABC:

3 * 3 + 33 = 42
