Answer:
The brother is 36 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
b = brothers age
b - 18 = 18 | Given
b = 36 | Add 18 to both sides to cancel out -18 and get his age.
Answer:
(x + 1)(x + 9) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
After you subtract 16 from both sides, you get ...
x² +10x +9 = 0
When you factor this equation, it becomes ...
(x +1)(x +9) = 0
_____
For the zero product property to be of any use, the form of the equation must be a product that equals zero.
___
<em>Comment on the other answer choice</em>
(x -1)(x -9) = 0 = x² -10x +9 . . . . . the x term is different from that in the given equation. It has the wrong sign.
4.) 2(x-1)+3= 2x+1
Distribute the 2, multiply the 2 by x and -1.
2*x= 2x (all you need to do is put 2 in front of x)
2*-1= -2
2x-2+3= 2x+1
Combine like terms.
2x+1=2x+1
Subtract one on both sides.
2x=2x
Divide by 2 into both sides.
x=1
We can check this by plugging it in.
2(1-1)+3= 2(1)+1
2(0)+3= 2+1
0+3=3
3=3 <== this works
I hope this helps!
