Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age be xy or 10x + y.
Reverse the two digits of my age, divide by three, add 20, and the result is my age, convert this to equation:
- (10y + x)/3 + 20 = 10x + y
- (10y + x)/3 = 10x + y - 20
- 10y + x = 3(10x + y - 20)
- 10y + x = 30x + 3y - 60
- 30x - x + 3y - 10y = 60
- 29x - 7y = 60
We should consider both x and y are between 1 and 9 since both the age and its reverse are 2-digit numbers.
Possible options for x are:
- 29x ≥ 7*1 + 60 = 67 ⇒ x > 2, at minimum value of y,
and
- 29x ≤ 7*9 + 60 = 123 ⇒ x < 5, at maximum value of y.
So x can be 3 or 4.
<h3>If x = 3</h3>
- 29*3 - 7y = 60
- 87 - 7y = 60
- 7y = 27
- y = 27/7, discarded as fraction.
<h3>If x = 4</h3>
- 29*4 - 7y = 60
- 116 - 7y = 60
- 7y = 56
- y = 8
So the age is 48.

, x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find h(g(x)) substitute x = g(x) into h(x) , that is
h(g(x))
= h(x + 1)
= (x + 1)²
= x² + 2x + 1
For h(g(x)) = 3x² + x - 5 , then
3x² + x - 5 = x² + 2x + 1 ← subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides
2x² - x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form
(2x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - 
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
Answer:
x=35
Angle measurements of the triangle from least to greatest:
35,40,105
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
So we know that 40+3x+x=180.
First step is to combine the like terms on the left hand side:
40+4x=180
Second step is to subtract 40 on both sides.
4x=140
Third step is to divide both sides by 4:
x=35
The angle that is given is the one that is 40 degrees.
So the angle whose measurement is x is really 35 degrees.
The angle whose measurement is 3x is real 3(35)=105 degrees.
In order from least to greatest we have:
35,40,105
