Answer 10

Rachael's brother is 33 years old. He is 3 times what Rachael's age was 16 years ago.

Let R be Rachel's age:

3(R-16) = 33

Answer 11

ohh alright ty so much

Answer 12

No prob. If you're wondering how to write the equation: The R-16 gives Rachael's age 16 years ago, and her brother is three times that age, and he is 33.
