Let Marc's age be x. If Jeanine is twice as old as Marc, then her age will be 2x. If their ages added together are 24, then you can create the following equation:2x + x = 243x = 24x = 8Remember that x is Marc's age. So if Marc is 8, and Jeanine is twice as old, she will be 16.
For a rational function, set the denominator equal to zero. Whatever value of x that makes the denominator equal to zero corresponds to the vertical asymptote.
