A wise man once said “400 reduced by 3 times my age is 244.” How old is the wise man?

52 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let this mans age be a

400-3a=244

400=244+3a

400-244=3a

156=3a

a=52

52 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= man's age

400-3x=244

-3x=-156

x=52

The man is 52 years old.

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

slope =   (y2 -y1) ÷ (x2 -x1)

slope = (0 -0) / (-5, -7)

slope = 0 / -12 = 0

the slope of the line is zero.   it is perfectly horizontal.
