Answer:

a = 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark is 6 years older than his brother Sam. Now, we are asked to represent Sam’s age by a. This means that if Sam is a years old, Mark is (a + 6) years old.

The sum of their ages is 30, this means that when we add their ages together, we get the sum of thirty.

Mathematically this means a + a + 6 = 30

2a + 6 = 30

This is the equation needed to get a. To get a , we proceed to solve the equation to completion.

2a = 30 - 6

2a = 24

a = 24/2

a = 12

Which function is graphed on the right?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: y=2^{x-2}+3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation from a graphed function, you can substitute points into each equation to find the original:

A point on the graph is (2, 4). Substituting this into each equation, we get:

4=2^{2+3} -2, which claims that 4 is equal to 30, which is incorrect.

4=2^{2-3} +2, which claims that 4 is equal to 3/2, which is incorrect.

4=2^{2-2}+3, which claims that 4 is equal to 4, which is correct.

We can test the third function further by taking another point on the graph, (3, 5), and substituting it into the function:

5=2^{3-2} +3, which claims that 5 is equal to 5, which is correct.
