The ages of Olivia and her brother are 10 years and 11 years respectively
Let x₁, and x₂ be the ages of Olivia and her brother respectively.
Given that Olivia's brother is twice her age minus 9 years.
⇒ x₂ = 2x₁ - 9 → equation 1
Also given that Olivia's brother is as old as half the sum of the ages of Olivia and both of her 12-year-old twin brothers.
⇒ x₂ = 1/2 × (x₁ + 12) → equation 2
Using equation 1 in equation 2, we get
2x₁ - 9 = 1/2 × (x₁ + 12)
⇒ 4x₁ - 18 = x₁ + 12 (multiplying by 2 on both sides)
⇒ 4x₁ - x₁ = 12 + 18
⇒ 3x₁ = 30
⇒ x₁ = 10 (dividing by 3 on both sides)
Using the value of x₁, in equation 1,
⇒ x₂ = 2(10) - 9
⇒ x₂ = 20 - 9
⇒ x₂ = 11
Therefore the ages of Olivia and her brother are 10 years and 11 years respectively.

Answer: 0.43ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
You didn't really specify part A but In assuming that the question you posted is part A. Anyways in this case, area will be calculated by multiplying the length by the width.
Since the piece of wood has a length that is 2.45 feet and width that is 2.097 inches, then the area will be:
= 2.45 × 0.17475
= 0.4281375 ft²
= 0.43ft² to nearest hundredths
Note 1 foot = 12 inches
Therefore, 2.097 inches = 2.097/12 = 0.17475 feet
