The equation that can be used to represent the ages of Sarah and his brother will be 2x - 12 = 16.

<h3>How to solve the equation</h3>

From the question given, Sarah's brother is 12 less than twice her age and Sarah is 16.

Let Sarah's age be represented by x.

Therefore, the equation to represent the situation will be:

= (2 × x) - 12 = 16

2x - 12 = 16

2x = 16 + 12.

2x = 28

x = 28/2 = 14

Sarah is 14 years.

F(x) = -1/2x is it increasing, decreasing or constant
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The function is decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x is the parent function, when you make x negative it decreases rather than increasing. the use of the slope (1/2) doesn't change whether it it increasing or decreasing. as long as the negative sign is in front, it will decrease.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

She should have used One-half (9.4) (11.9) to represent the area of a single triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The pyramid is composed by 4 triangles and 1 square

area of the square: base² = 9.4²

area of each triangle = 1/2*base*height = 1/2*9.4*11.9

surface area of the pyramid = 4*area of each triangle + area of the square = 4*(1/2*9.4*11.9) + 9.4²

When 1/8 cup of popcorn kernels are popped, they create 5 cups of popped corn. How many cups of popcorn would 1 cup of kernels p
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is 1/8 it is much easier.

8 times 5 = 40

So you know that 1/8 was timesed by 40 to get 5. This means you can times x by 40 to get the cups of popcorn the kernels would produce. That means 1 times 40 equals 40. Making the cups of popcorn the kernels would produce is 40.
