Answer:
21 yrs old
Step-by-step explanation:
m= michael age
b=Brandon age
m=b+12
m-17=4(b-17)= 4b-68 --»»m = 4b -51
//put b+12 instead m// b+12=4b-51
3b=63 --»»b=21
Brandon age is 21
Michael age is 33
3x-24=x+10
3x-x=24+10
2x=34
x=34:2=17
Area =bh
36in2=b(9)

This is all about proportions. You can make this into fractions:
3/5 = 12/x
A good way to handle this, is to make one of those numbers the same. If you do (3/5) * 4, you would get 12/20 (because 4 * 3 = 12 and 4 * 5 = 20)
So then you have this:
12/20 = 12/x
It's basically a fill in the blank from there. x= 20
