Hello, there!
Matthew is 8 years older than his brother. Use b to represent how old Matthew's brother is.
This means that Matthew's brother is 8 years younger than Matthew.
We will let 'M' represent Matthew's age and 'B' represent Matthew's brother's age.
The equation to represent this situation would be:
B = M - 8
I hope I helped!
Let me know if you need anything else!

Answer:
2<em>x= 1
/2
y+ 2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x.
<em>2x−y=4</em>
Add y to both sides.
<em>2x−y+y=4+y
</em>
<em>2x=y+4</em>
Divide both sides by 2.
<em>2x
/2 = y+4
/2</em>
<em>x=
