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.

Kendra has a painting canvas that is 20 inches wide by 37 inches high. She painted a red rose, which covered 50% of the canvas.

uysha [10]

The total area is:
A = (20) * (37)
A = 740 in ^ 2
We can make the following rule of three:
740in ^ 2 -----> 100%
x --------------> 50%
Clearing x we have:
x = (50/100) * (740)
x = 370 in ^ 2
Answer:
the area of the canvas which was covered by the red rose was:
x = 370 in ^ 2
