Answer:

a = 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark is 6 years older than his brother Sam. Now, we are asked to represent Sam’s age by a. This means that if Sam is a years old, Mark is (a + 6) years old.

The sum of their ages is 30, this means that when we add their ages together, we get the sum of thirty.

Mathematically this means a + a + 6 = 30

2a + 6 = 30

This is the equation needed to get a. To get a , we proceed to solve the equation to completion.

2a = 30 - 6

2a = 24

a = 24/2

a = 12

PLZ HELP ASAP DIVIDE LINE SEGMENTS
rodikova [14]
Segment in the direction from A to C
Initial Point: A=(9,5)=(xa,ya)→xi=xa=9, yi=ya=5
Final point: C=(-7,1)=(xc,yc)→xf=xc=-7, yf=yc=1
B=(xb,yb)=?
Proportion: r=AB/BC=3:1=3/1→r=3
 
xb=(xi+r*xf)/(1+r)
Replacing xi=xa=9, xf=xc=-7 and r=3
xb=[9+3*(-7)]/(1+3)
xb=(9-21)/4
xb=(-12)/4
xb=-3

yb=(yi+r*yf)/(1+r)
Replacing yi=ya=5, yf=yc=1 and r=3
yb=[5+3*(1)]/(1+3)
yb=(5+3)/4
yb=8/4
yb=2

B=(xb,yb)→B=(-3,2)

Answer: B=(-3,2)

Every number has its purpose in this case you start  at -3 then the negative sign tells you which way you are going but since we have another negative sign in between the number we go to the right instead of left with that said you put the point in number 4
