45 12/25 I think that is it
Let "x" represent the age of Brian.
Andrew is elder than Brian by 2 years, we can symbolize his age as "x+2"
Frank is twice as old as Andrew, we can symbolize his age as "2(x+2)"
Sarah has half the age of Brian's, we can symbolize her age as "x/2"
Frank ans Sarah's ages differ by 40 years, we can symbolize this as:

Solve the term is parenthesis

x=24 years
Andrew's age is

Andrew is 26 years old
1/12 of a pound.
you must use the reciprocal of 4, 1/4, then multiply. so 1/3*1/4= 1/12
Answer:
A) Quantity x minus 5 over quantity x plus 1, where x≠-1 and x≠-9
Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying the numerator first:
x² + 4x - 45 using the quadratic formula you get;
(x - 5)(x + 9)
Then simplifying the denominator x² + 10x + 9 using a quadratic formula you get;
(x + 1)(x + 9)
Dividing the numerator and denominator now gives;

Cancelling (x + 9) throughout leaves you with;

The only restrictions here is if x = 1 and 9 which will give an undefined answer.
Sorry for not giving you the calculation here -
5/12 and 2/9 have denominators divisible by only 3 right? Well The common denominator that can then change is 3 because that's the only number they have in common (except 1)
