s'ams mother is twice as old as sam in 12 years sam will be as old as his mother was 12 years ago how old are sam and his mother now? sam is?years old his mother is ? years old

Sam is 24 years old and his mother is 48 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

Let's call

x   = Sam's current age

Since Sam's mother is twice as old as Sam:

2x = Sam's mother current age

x + 12 = Sam's age in 12 years

2x - 12 = Sam's mother age 12 years ago

These two last expressions are equal:

x + 12 = 2x - 12

Subtracting x and adding 12:

x = 24

2x = 48

Sam is 24 years old and his mother is 48 years old.

answer:

(-8,7)

explanation:

we know that  

f

(

−

3

)

=

7

therefore, if we wish to get the output as 7, in the function, we need to have our input to be -3.

looking at the function  

f

(

x

+

5

)

, what should the value of x be, such that the input in the function becomes 7?

we simply equate the terms,

x

+

5

=

−

3

x

=

−

8

thus, the point on the new function would be  

(

−

8

,

7

)

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
