Let "x" represent the age of Brian.
Andrew is elder than Brian by 2 years, we can symbolize his age as "x+2"
Frank is twice as old as Andrew, we can symbolize his age as "2(x+2)"
Sarah has half the age of Brian's, we can symbolize her age as "x/2"
Frank ans Sarah's ages differ by 40 years, we can symbolize this as:

Solve the term is parenthesis

x=24 years
Andrew's age is

Andrew is 26 years old
1/x^-7
It would look more like 1
------
-7 (as an exponent)
x
1 because you replace x with 2 so, (2)squared -5x2 + 7 = 4 - 10 + 7 = 1
Answer: y = 36x
Step-by-step explanation: Given that x and y vary directly then the equation relating the is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition x = , y = 12, then
k = = = 12 × 3 = 36
y = 36x ← equation of variation
