Answer:

56/65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b) + sin(a)sin(b)

We know what sin(a) and sin(b) are, and to get cos(a), we can take the equation sin²a + cos²a = 1

Thus,

(12/13)² + cos²a = 1

1 - (12/13)² = cos²a

1- 144/169 = cos²a

cos²a = 25/169

cos(a) = 5/13

Similarly,

(3/5)² + cos²b = 1

1 - (3/5)² = cos²b

1 - 9/25 = cos²b

cos²b = 16/25

cos(b) = 4/5

Our answer is

cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b) + sin(a)sin(b)

cos(a-b)  = (5/13)(4/5) + (12/13)(3/5)

cos(a-b)  = 20/65 + 36/65

cos(a-b)  = 56/65

Kevin said that if you triple his age the result will be 1 less than his mother age
Ivahew [28]
Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1. 

Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.
