Answer:

"subtracting b, then dividing by m"

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a particular variable, look a the operations that are being performed on that variable. Then "undo" those operations in reverse order.

Here, the operations done to x are ...

• multiply by m

• add b to the product

Using the above recipe, first we "undo" the additon of b. We accomplish that by subtracting b from both sides of the equation. This gives ...

y - b = mx + b - b

y - b = mx . . . . . . . . . simplify

Next, we "undo" the multiplicatin by m. We accomplish that by dividing both sides of the equation by m.

(y -b)/m = mx/m

(y -b)/m = x . . . . . . . . simplify

This is your solution for x:

x = (y - b)/m

We found it by subtracting b, then dividing by m on both sides of the equation.

Match the sets of points representing one-to-one functions with the sets of points representing their inverse functions.
galben [10]
The answer is already given in your question. The inverse of a function
f is f-1, g is g-1, h is h-1 and i is i-1.

To explain why the inverse of 
<span>f = {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5), (5,6), (6,7)}
is
f-1 = </span><span>f -1 = {(2,1), (3,2), (4,3), (5,4), (6,5), (7,6)}
and that of the other functions to their corresponding inverses is because of the definition of the inverse of a function which is
f = (x, y)
f-1 = (y, x)

Simply, the x and y coordinates of a function are interchanged to get the inverse of the function.</span><span />

A cleaning crew can clean 5 offices in 6 hours how many offices can they clean in 12 hours
weeeeeb [17]
1 cleaning crew = 5 offices in 6 hours
You want to find out the number of offices they can clean in 12 hours
6 (hours) is \frac{1}{2} of 12 (hours)
The opposite of \frac{1}{2} is 2
6 (hours) multiplied by 2 (opposite of \frac{1}{2} ) is equal to
12
6 x 2 = 12, 12 = the number of offices you're trying to find.
Therefore, you need to multiple 5 by 2 (number that is double), so
5 x 2 = 10
The crew can clean 10 offices in 12 hours
