It cost $5 for his brother's ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Micheal's ticket price= x
His brother ticket price = y
According to given statement;
x+y=12 Eqn 1
y = x-2 Eqn 2
Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 2;

Putting x=7 in Eqn 2

It cost $5 for his brother's ticket.

a f(a) is the function f(x) where x is replaced by a.
So we have
(3x^2 + x + 3 - (3a^2 + a + 3)) / ( x - a)
= (3x^2 - 3a^2 + x - a) / (x = a) Answer
b (3(x + h)^2 + x + h + 3 - (3x^2 + x + 3)) / h
= (3x^2 + 6xh + 3h^2 + x + h - 3x^2 - x - 3) ) / h
= (6xh + h + 3 h^2) / h
= 6x + 3h + 1 Answer
