x+y=cost
Answer:
a: is 36
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are asking to simplify, this is what I got. Hope I was able to help
Okay so, we switch out f(x) with y - I’m sure you know this and we get y=2+3x/x-2.
Now just interchange x and y -> x=2+3y/y-2, now multiply both sides with (y-2), we get (y-2)x=2+3y.
Multiply x with the brackets, getting xy-2x=2+3y. Move 3y to the left changing it’s sign, also for -2x to the right: xy-3y=2+2x.
Factor out y from (xy-3y) and get (3-x)y=2+2x - now divide both sides by (3-x) resulting in y=2+2x/3-x .
