Answer:

Mother is presently 34

Scott is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mother's age = x

Let the son's age = y

First Equation

x + y = 45

Second equation

3*(x + 5) - 9 =  y+5                Add 9 to both sides

3(x + 5) = y + 5 + 9

3(x + 5) = y + 14                    Remove the brackets

3x + 15 = y + 14                    Subtract 14 from both sides

3x + 15 - 14 = y

3x + 1 = y

Put the first equation into the second equation

x + y = 45                             Subtract y from both sides

y = 45 - x

Put this value for y into the second equation's results.

3x + 1 = 45 - x                       Add x to both sides

3x + x + 1 = 45                    

4x + 1 = 45                            Subtract 1 from both sides

4x = 45 - 1

4x = 44                                Divide by 4

x = 44/4

x = 11

x + y = 45

11 + y = 45

y = 34

Describe each graph in relation to its basic function.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

In a nutshell, f(x) is obtained by applying an horizontal translation on g(x), followed by a vertical translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be g(x) = x^{3} the parent function, f(x) is obtained by applying an horizontal translation on g(x), followed by a vertical translation, that is:

f(x) = g(x-a)-b,\,a,b\in\mathbb{R} (1)

If a > 0, then translation is rightwards.

If b > 0, then translation in downwars.

If a = 2 and b = 1, then the resulting function is:

f(x) = g(x-2)-1

f(x) = (x-2)^{3}-1 (2)

In a nutshell, f(x) is obtained by applying an horizontal translation on g(x), followed by a vertical translation.

3.56 as a fraction simplified
Artemon [7]
This has to do with place value.....the 3, since it is on the left of the decimal, is a whole number. The last number (6) is in the hundredths place..
so it is 3 56/100 which reduces to 3 14/25
