L = liz's age now

J = Jack's age now

L-1 and J-1 are their ages one year ago

L-1=3(J-1)

L-1=3J-3

L=3J-3+1

L=3J-2 (to be used later)

L+2 and J+2 are their ages in two years

L+2=2(J+2)

replace L by 3J-2

3J-2+2=2(J+2)

3J=2J+4

3J-2J=4

J=4 is Jack's age now

L-1=3(J-1)

L-1=3(4-1)

L-1=3*3

L-1=9

L=9+1

L=10 is Liz's age now

Graph g(x)=2+|x| and it’s parent functions
matrenka [14]

The parent function is ...

... f(x) = |x|

This is the absolute value function, equal x when x ≥ 0, and equal to -x when x < 0. Its graph has the shape of a V with the vertex at the origin and "legs" of slope ±1.

The function g(x) is the same function with 2 added. The addition of 2 moves every value of f(x) up 2 units, so translates the whole graph upward by 2 units.
