21 years ago Alvin was 11 times older than Tomio. The sum of their present age is 54.

Not sure exactly what answer you are looking for. But I assume it is the ages of them. Their original ages would be Tomio - 1 year old, Alvin - 11 years old. Now, Tomio - 22, Alvin - 32

Step-by-step explanation:

1(tomio) x 11 = 11 (alvin) (add 21 to these)

22+32=54

hope that makes sense

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .
