The ages of Olivia and her brother are 10 years and 11 years respectively
Let x₁, and x₂ be the ages of Olivia and her brother respectively.
Given that Olivia's brother is twice her age minus 9 years.
⇒ x₂ = 2x₁ - 9 → equation 1
Also given that Olivia's brother is as old as half the sum of the ages of Olivia and both of her 12-year-old twin brothers.
⇒ x₂ = 1/2 × (x₁ + 12) → equation 2
Using equation 1 in equation 2, we get
2x₁ - 9 = 1/2 × (x₁ + 12)
⇒ 4x₁ - 18 = x₁ + 12 (multiplying by 2 on both sides)
⇒ 4x₁ - x₁ = 12 + 18
⇒ 3x₁ = 30
⇒ x₁ = 10 (dividing by 3 on both sides)
Using the value of x₁, in equation 1,
⇒ x₂ = 2(10) - 9
⇒ x₂ = 20 - 9
⇒ x₂ = 11
Therefore the ages of Olivia and her brother are 10 years and 11 years respectively.

Answer:
vertex = (3, 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
y = 2(x - 3)² + 6 ← is in vertex form
with vertex = (h, k ) = (3, 6 )
A i believe but i am not quite sure
The estimation of the product would be around 15,600 because if you round 5,186, it will become 5,200. multiply that by 3, and that's where you get your answer
