Find a number such that one-half of the number is 9 less than two-thirds of the number

1 answer:

3 0

Let's say, the number is "a"
thus $\bf \cfrac{1}{2}a=\cfrac{2}{3}a-9\implies \cfrac{a}{2}=\cfrac{2a}{3}-9\implies \cfrac{a}{2}=\cfrac{2a-27}{3}$

cross-multiply and solve for "a"

$f(x) = 4x+3\\\\\text{Write f(x) as y = 4x+3}\\\\\text{Replace x with y,}\\\\x =4y +3\\\\\text{Solve for y:}\\\\ \implies x =4y+3\\\\\implies 4y = x-3 \\\\\implies y =\dfrac{x-3}4\\\\\implies f^{-1} (x) = \dfrac{x-3}4\\\\\text{This is the inverse of f(x)}$
