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.

21. Angela until the same restaurant four times. Each time she ordered a salad and left at $ 5 tip. She spent a total of $ 54. W
Natalka [10]

So if Angela entered the same restaurant 4 times, we have 4 "instances" of her entering the restaurant.

Each instance, she ordered a salad. The price of this salad is unknown, so we'll say the price is "S".

Each instance, she payed a $5 tip.

So we have 4 instances of spending S, and 4 instances of spending 5.

We know this totals 54.

Knowing all of this information, we can write our equation like this:

4(S + 5) = 54

Divide

S + 5 = 13.50

Subtract

S = 8.50

The cost of salad is $8.50

∆ABC is a right angled at B and D is a point on BC if AD = 18cm BD = 9cm and CD =4cm Find AC
Gemiola [76]

In triangle, ABD,

AD²= AB²+BD²

AB² = AD²-BD²

AB² = 18²-9² = 324-81 = 243

AB = √243

In triangle, ABC,

AC² = AB²+BC²

AC² = (√243)²+(13)²

AC² = 243+169

AC = √412

AC = 20.29
