Answer:

George is 18 and his brother is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the brother's age be n then George's age is 3n ( 3 times his brother's age )

n + 3n = 24 ( sum of their ages )

4n = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n = 6

and 3n = 3 × 6 = 18

George is 18 years old and his brother is 6 years old.

Answer:

G=18

Step-by-step explanation:

George-G

1/3G+G=24

4/3G=24

3/4*4/3G=24*3/4

G=18

George will be 18 years old there we can find his brothers age by dividing it by three thus 18/3=6

Distance
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer: 28 km

Step-by-step explanation: For the first 25 minutes, he drove 60 km/h. Since there is 60 minutes in an hour, we know that he drove 25 km. The rest of the journey is 15 minutes. 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour, so get 1/4 of 12 km/h. This would be 3 km. Add 25 km and 3 km. The distance between the 2 malls is 28 km.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

(x-2)^2 +(y+3)^2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written as

(x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2 = r^2

where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x-2)^2 +(y- -3)^2 = 4^2

(x-2)^2 +(y+3)^2 = 16
