Answer:

She is 18 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

A(S) + 12 = 3 * A(S), subtracting A(S) from both sides one gets 12 = 2 * A(S). Now dividing both sides by 2 we get A(S) = 12/2 = 6 . Therefore, the age of the sister is 6 years when her brother John is three times as old, that is 18 years.

You are told that a bank investment can be modeled by a linear equation. The slope of the linear equation is positive and the va
erastovalidia [21]
If the investment can be modeled by a linear equation, the slope positive, and the value for the y-intercept is at 30,000, the equation of the line is
y = mx + 30,000
where m > 0

The initial investment is when x is 0 or the y-intercept. Therefore, the initial investment is $30,000

Since the slope of the line is positive, this means that the investment will increase through time.
