Answer: It's either -6 or 12. I'm assuming it's 12 because it says "more than."

Step-by-step explanation:

You must account for both the number being more than 9 units smaller than 3 and being more than 9 units larger than 3. To do that, you set the absolute value of the difference between the number and 3 greater than 9.

Let x be the number

|x - 3| > 9

Now solve for x.

Suppose x - 3 is positive. Then

x - 3 > 9 ⇒ x > 12

Suppose x - 3 is negative. Then |x - 3| = -(x - 3) = 3 - x

Then

3 - x > 9 ⇒ x < -6

These are the 2 possibilities.


Hope this helps

Answer:

f(3x) - 2g(x+1) = 12x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You've got f[g(x)] and g[f(x)] correct

However, f(3x) means substitute 3x for x in f(x):

f(3x) = 2(3x) - 3

⇒ f(3x) = 6x - 3

2g(x+1) = 2[4 - 3(x + 1)]

⇒ 2g(x+1) = 2[4 - 3x -3]

⇒ 2g(x+1) = 2[1 - 3x]

⇒ 2g(x+1) = 2 - 6x

f(3x) - 2g(x+1) = (6x - 3) - (2 - 6x)

⇒ f(3x) - 2g(x+1) = 12x - 5

Answer:

Pat would be 32 and Patrick will be 9 before the 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

pat is older by 23

in 5 years the dad will be 28 years older than his son and 28 x 1/2 = 14

so the son will be 14 in 5 years so he would be 9 now making the dad 23 years older the dad would be 32
