Answer: 48 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse, turn the equation into x=4y-7 and solve for y. The inverse would be y=1/4x+7/4, or f(x)=1/4x+7/4. I hope this helps!
Answer:
b = 45.9 - c
Step-by-step explanation:
A scalene triangle has non of its sides equal.
Perimeter = 54.6
side a = 8.7 cm
side b = unknown
side c = unknown
Perimeter of a shape is sum of all its sides.
Perimeter = a + b + c
54.6 = 8.7 + b + c
Making b the subject
b = 54.6 - 8.7 - c
b = 45.9 - c
The value of b is (45.9 - c)
