Answer: 35

the age of Roberto is x (x > 3)(x ∈ N)

because Roberto is 3 years older than Carolyn => the age of Carolyn is x - 3

in 7 years, the age of Roberto is x + 7; the age of Carolyn is x - 3 + 7 = x + 4

because In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 81 =>

x + 7 + x + 4 = 81

⇔ 2x + 11 = 81

⇔ 2x = 70

⇔ x = 70/2 = 35

=> the age of Roberto is 35

Solve this equation:

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

b. All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify:

5(x-2) = (15x+6)/(3) - 12
5x - 10 = 5x + 2 - 12
5x - 10 = 5x - 10
-10 = -10
0 = 0

Since both sides are equal to each other, any value of x makes this equation true.

Which of the following equations matches the function shown above?

Ksenya-84 [330]

So, the function is obviously shifted up by 1 so it rules out A and B, and we also see that the period is 4pi rather than 2pi, and using the fact that:

$\frac{2\pi}{b}=4\pi \implies \frac{b}{2\pi}=\frac{1}{4\pi}\implies b=\frac{1}{2}$

Now that we know our b value, we see that the correct answer would be C.
