Let Joy be x years old

<span>Joy's brother's age is 3 years older than twice joy's age.
</span>Joy's Brother = 2x + 3

<span>The sum of Joy's age and her brother's age is 24.
x + 2x + 3 = 24
3x + 3 = 24
3x = 24 - 3
3x = 21
x = 21 </span>÷ 3 
x = 7

Joy:
x = 7

Brother:
2x + 3 = 2(7) + 3 = 17

Difference in their age = 17 - 7 = 10 years

They are 10 years apart.

Hello!

\large\boxed{4 : 3 \text{ and } 16 : 12}

We can go through each answer to verify whether each is equivalent to 8 : 6.

4 : 3 is equivalent to 8 : 6 because reducing the ratio 8 : 6  by a factor of 2 yields 4 : 3.

6 : 8 is not equivalent to 8 : 6 because the ratio is reversed.

16 : 12 is equivalent to 8 : 6 because the ratio is increased by a factor of 2.

10 : 8 is not equivalent to 8 : 6. We can verify this by checking whether each term was scaled equally:

10 ÷ 8 = 1.25

8 ÷ 6 = 1.33. Therefore, they are unequal.

7 : 5 is not equal to 8 : 6 for the same reason.

The only correct choices are:

4 : 3 and 16 : 12.
