Bob is 2 years older than Carol and the reverse of Carol's age is 3 times Bob's age, which makes Bob's to be 17 years.

<h3>How can Bob's age be calculated?</h3>

Let <em>1</em><em>B </em>represent Bob's age and let <em>1</em><em>C </em>represent Carol's age, we can write the following equations;

  • 1B = 1C + 2

Reversing Carol's age gives;

  • C1 = 3 × 1B

The multiples of 3 that have the form X1 have 7 as the rightmost number.

Given that 1B is a teenager, we have;

When;

  • 1B = 17
  • 1C = 17 - 2 = 15

The reverse of Carol's age is therefore;

  • C1 = 51 = 3 × 17

Therefore, from the given description, Bob's age <em>1B</em><em> </em>= 17 years

  • Bob is 17 years old

Answer if you have a big brain 96 POINTS
nordsb [41]

Answer:

1) 2x+7

2) -3x+11

3) 0.75x-2

4) -2x+0

5) -1.5x+2

6) -4x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y = mx + c

m = 2 when x=1 , y=9

9 = 2(1)+c

c = 7

y = 2x + 7

2) m = -3

When x=4, y= -1

-1 = -3(4) + c

c = -1+12 = 11

y = -3x + 11

3) m = 0.75

When x= -4, y= -5

-5 = 0.75(-4) + c

-5 = -3 + c

c = -2

y = 0.75x - 2

4) m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-(-6))/(-1-3) = 8/-4 = -2

y = -2x + c

When x= -1, y= 2

2 = -2(-1) + c

2 = 2 + c

c = 0

y = -2x + 0

5) m = (-10-(-4))/(8-4)

m = (-10+4)/4 = -6/4 = -1.5

y = -1.5x + c

When x= 4, y= -4

-4 = -1.5(4) + c

-4 = -6 + c

c = 2

y = -1.5x + 2

6) m = (-4-4)/(5-3) = -8/2 = -4

When x= 3, y= 4

4 = -4(3) + c

4 = -12 + c

c = 16

y = -4x + 16

Find the smallest positive $n$ such that \begin{align*} n &amp;\equiv 3 \pmod{4}, \\ n &amp;\equiv 2 \pmod{5}, \\ n &amp;\equiv
Alex777 [14]

4, 5, and 7 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem right away.

We construct a number x such that taking it mod 4, 5, and 7 leaves the desired remainders:

x=3\cdot5\cdot7+4\cdot2\cdot7+4\cdot5\cdot6

  • Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we have

x\equiv3\cdot5\cdot7\equiv105\equiv1\pmod4

so we multiply the first term by 3.

  • Taken mod 5, the first and last terms vanish and we have

x\equiv4\cdot2\cdot7\equiv51\equiv1\pmod5

so we multiply the second term by 2.

  • Taken mod 7, the first two terms vanish and we have

x\equiv4\cdot5\cdot6\equiv120\equiv1\pmod7

so we multiply the last term by 7.

Now,

x=3^2\cdot5\cdot7+4\cdot2^2\cdot7+4\cdot5\cdot6^2=1147

By the CRT, the system of congruences has a general solution

n\equiv1147\pmod{4\cdot5\cdot7}\implies\boxed{n\equiv27\pmod{140}}

or all integers 27+140k, k\in\mathbb Z, the least (and positive) of which is 27.
