Simon is 13 years old

Let x be Simon's age

Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)

Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)

distributing both sides gives

5x-20 = 3x + 6

subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

5x - 3x - 20 = 6

2x - 20 = 6

add 20 to both sides

2x = 6 + 20 = 26

divide both sides by 2

x = \frac{26}{2} = 13

Simon is 13 years old

15. Explain why we need to specify 0 < b < 1 and b > 1 as valid values for the base b in the expression logb(xx).
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The base (b) has to be positive and different of 1. The logarithm is the inverse of exponential, so:

logb(a) = x ⇒ a = bˣ

So, for b = 0 ⇒ 0ˣ = a

And there is impossible, "a" only could be 0.

For b = 1 ⇒ 1ˣ = a

And the same thing would happen, the logarithming would be to be 1, and the function will be extremally restricted.

For b<0, then the expression a = bˣ will be also restricted, and will not represent all values of a.

So, 0<b<1 and b >1.

How can you use addition and subtraction to put together and separate measures of an angle and its parts?
Oksanka [162]
We can use addition and subtraction <span>to put together and separate measures of an angle and its parts by looking for the complementary or the supplementary angles. 

For example, What is the other angle in a complementary angle in which one of the angles is 45 degrees. This is how should be answered. Ccomplementary angles are two angles that forms a total of 90 degrees.
90 = A + B
90 = 45 + B
B = 90 - 45
B = 45

Simplify: |x−y| if x is less than y
blondinia [14]

Answer:

y-x

Step-by-step explanation:

I assumed you meant that you wanted me to rewrite the expression without the absolute value signs. Since the absolute value of a number will be the same whichever way you place the numbers, you can rewrite |x-y| as y-x, as x is less than y.
