Answer:

x=2, y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equations:

4x=y

1/4x+1/y=1/4

---------------------

1/y+1/y=1/4

2/y=1/4

cross product

y*1=2*4

y=8

4x=8

x=8/4=2

If f(x)=1/9x-2
then f^-1(x) will be
lets assume f(x)=y
y=1/9x-2

Q1.

Angle BAD is adjacent to angle CAD

which means they are equal

so angle BAD = 26 degrees


Q2.

Angel BAC = the sum of angles BAD and CAD

because they are adjacent angles

To find the angles we solve the equations

9x-5 = 3x+7

9x-3x = 7+5

6x = 12

x = 12/6

x = 6
