Answer:
the answer are x=4y-20
and x represents the independent variable and y represents the dependent variable
Answer: Your brother is 15 years old right now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "m" your currently age and "b" your brother's currently age.
Knowing that right now he is three times (this indicates multiplication) as old as you, you can write the following equation:

In five years your age will be:

And your brother's age will be:

Then, if in five years, your brother will be twice as old as you, you can set up the second equation:

Then, the System of equations is:

Apply the Substitution method and substitute the first equation into the second one and solve for "m":

Substitute the value of "m" into the first equation and evaluate in order to find "b":

Answer: 45
Step-by-step explanation: To divide this start with finding how many times 585 goes into 13 which is 0. I put a picture for you to look at.
Answer:
The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
m(x) -----> the number of mosquitoes in Minneapolis, Minnesota (in millions of mosquitoes)
x ----> the rainfall in centimeters
we have

This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open downward
The vertex is the maximum
we know that
The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex
Find out the coordinate of the vertex
The general equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

where
a is a coefficient
(h,k) is the vertex
so
In this problem
a=-1 (open downward)
(h,k)=(5,25)
The y-coordinate is 25
therefore
The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions
The answer is the T and A
