Answer:
Hey there!
We have the equation: y2-y1/x2-x1.
So, we have: 8-2/8-6.
6/2, or 3.
Hope this helps!

The inequality is < so 2/4 < 5/6.
To solve this problem, we must set up a system of equations. In this case, let's let Maggie's age be represented by the variable m and her brother's age be represented by the variable b. We are told that the sum of their ages is 24, which gives us our first equation: m + b = 24. We can construct our next equation from the first sentence of given information: b = 2m - 3. This makes our system of equations:
m + b = 24
b = 2m - 3
To solve, we are going to substitute the value for b in terms of m given by the second equation into the first equation for the variable b.
m + b = 24
m + 2m - 3 = 24
To simplify, we must first combine the variable terms on the left side of the equation using addition.
3m - 3 = 24
Next, we should add 3 to both sides of the equation to get the variable term alone on the left side of the equation.
3m = 27
Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 in order to get the variable m alone.
m = 9
Therefore, Maggie is 9 years old (using the first equation and substituting in this value you can find that her brother is 15 years old).
Hope this helps!
<span>Let's say in general you want "n" adjacent squares. Each one needs a top, so that's n toothpicks. Each one needs a bottom, so that's another n toothpicks, and we're up to 2n total. You need one on the far left, and one on the far right, which brings us up to 2n + 2 toothpicks. Now we need to worry about the middle ones. But notice that you don't need n toothpicks for the interior because adjacent squares share. It turns out that you only need n-1. That brings us up to a grand total of 3n + 1 toothpicks, which would be 301 for n = 100.
