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

Answer:

down

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics a when dealing with graphs a translation is basically just moving points left/right and up/down but it does not change the shape of the original figure in any way just moves its position. In this scenario, the down arrow's tip will be moved from point (2,0) to (-3,1) but the arrow will still be the same size and still be pointing downward.
