Celeste is 30 and Beth is 25

let x be Celeste's age now then Beth is x - 5

next year they will be 1 year older

Celeste's age will be x + 1 and Beth will be x - 5 + 1 = x - 4

the sum of their ages is therefore

x + 1 + x - 4 = 57

2x - 3 = 57 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 30

Celeste is 30 and Beth is 30 - 5 = 25

Does the equation specify a function with independent variable​ x? If​ so, find the domain of the function. If​ not, find a valu
drek231 [11]

Yes, the equation specifies a function with independent variable​ x.

Equation: 6x + 19y = 7

This can be put in y = mx + b form,

6x + 19y = 7

19y = -6x + 7

y = -\frac{6}{19}x + \frac{7}{19}

Since the equation can be put in the form of a linear function, the domain is all read numbers (-∞,∞) or -∞ < x < ∞ .
