Answer:

The wise man is 64 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

"400 reduced by 3 times my age is 208"

we don't know the man's age, so we can substitute it for x. This means 400-3x=208. Using this equation, we can now solve for x to find the man's age.

400-3x=208

400-208=3x

192=3x

64=x

Checking answer:

400-3•64=

400-192=208

$\bf \textit{symmetry identities}\\\\
sin(-\theta )\implies -sin(\theta )\qquad \qquad cos(-\theta )\implies cos(\theta )
\\\\\\also~recall\\\\ sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)
\\\\\\
sin^2(\theta)=1-cos^2(\theta)
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\\
[1-cos(-t)][1+cos(t)]\implies [1-cos(t)][1+cos(t)]$

$\bf 1^2-cos^2(t)\implies 1-cos^2(t)\implies sin^2(t)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\\
%Simplify each expression. (1−cos⁡(−t))(1+cos⁡(t)) = (1+sin(t))(1+sin(-t))= csc⁡(t)tan⁡(t)+sec⁡(−t) =
[1+sin(t)][1+sin(-t)]\implies [1+sin(t)][1-sin(t)]
\\\\\\
1^2-sin^2(t)\implies 1-sin^2(t)\implies cos^2(t)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf csc(t)tan(t)+sec(-t)\implies \cfrac{1}{\underline{sin(t)}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{sin(t)}}{cos(t)}+\cfrac{1}{cos(-t)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{cos(t)}+\cfrac{1}{cos(-t)}\implies \cfrac{1}{cos(t)}+\cfrac{1}{cos(t)}\implies \cfrac{2}{cos(t)}
\\\\\\
2\cdot \cfrac{1}{cos(t)}\implies 2sec(t)$
