The answer is the third one.
The way I think through these problems is that where you multiply (-7x), you use addition, and where you use addition (-4), you multiply.
The answers added together will equal the second number, -7, and multiplied will give you the third, -4.
What you had chosen as the answer was close. But 7.53+-0.53 equals positive 7, not negative. However they do round to -4 when multiplied.
The correct answer, -7.53 and 0.53, do equal -7 when added together and equal -4 when multiplied.
Answer:
For instance, if the point (1, 3) is on the graph of the function, then the point (3, 1) is on the graph of the inverse. That is, if you start with x = 1, you will go to y = 3; then you plug this into the inverse, and you'll go right back to x = 1, where you started from.
Find a common denominator which is 12
1*3=3 4*3=12 so 3 3/12
then 5*2=10 6*2=12 so 2 10/12
2 10/12+3 3/12= 5 13/12
13/12= 1 1/12 plus 5= 6 1/12
so your answer would be 6 1/12
0 = -5n - 2n
0 = -7n <em>|divide both sides by (-7)</em>
<u>n = 0</u>
