Answer: Brandon is 24, Michael is 72.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent Michael
Let b represent Brandon
Then,
m = 3b <-----------"Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon."
m - 18 = 9(b - 18) <-----------"18 years ago, Michael was 9 times as old as Brandon."
3b - 18 = 9b - 162
-18 = 6b - 162
144 = 6b
Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon. Also, 18 years ago, Brandon would have been 6 and Michael would have been 54 meaning Michael was 9 times as old as Brandon 18 years ago.
Answer:
5x +4y
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of side lengths. That fact can be used to find z, the length of the third side.
(2x +3y) +(5x -2y) +z = 12x +5y . . . . sum of sides is perimeter
z = (12x +5y) -(7x +y) . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract (7x+y) from both sides
z = 5x +4y . . . . . . . . . collect terms; the length of the third side
The third side of the triangle is (5x +4y).
without knowing much information what you are working on i would say going up by 10?

Answer:
- Josh's book lands first
- Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...
h(t) = -16t² +60t +40
We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....
0 = -16t² +60t +40
Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...
t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277
__
Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...
0 = -16t² +48t +40
t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794
__
The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...
4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds
Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.
