<span>x = Joe's age  and </span><span>y = James's age 
</span><span>Joe is 10 years older than James - equation - x = y + 10 
</span><span>In 8 years twice Joe's age will equal three times James's age - equation -
2(x+8) = 3(y+8) 
</span>
<span>2(x+8) = 3(y+8) </span>
<span>2(y + 10 +8) = 3(y+8) { substitute y + 10 for x </span>
<span>2(y + 18) = 3(y + 8) </span>
<span>2y + 36 = 3y + 24 </span>
<span>12 = y </span>

<span>Joe is 22 and James is 12.</span>

Find an exponential function with a horizontal asymptote y equals=2 whose graph contains the points ​(0,3​) and ​(1,6​).
Andrew [12]
\bf y=a(b)^x\qquad \qquad (\stackrel{x}{0}~,~\stackrel{y}{3})\implies 3=a(b)^0\implies 3=a&#10;\\\\\\&#10;therefore\qquad y=3(b)^x\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;(\stackrel{x}{1}~,~\stackrel{y}{6})\implies 6=3(b)^1\implies \cfrac{6}{3}=b^1\implies 2=b&#10;\\\\\\&#10;therefore\qquad y=3(2)^x

now, exponential functions have a horizontal asymptote at the x-axis, namely when y = 0, however, if you just move this one with a vertical translation of 2, then the horizontal asymptote will be at 2 instead.    y = 3(2)ˣ + 2
