Let's say that y is the weight of the mother and x is the weight of the baby.
We know that the baby is 7437 pounds less than the mother, which means you need to add 7437 pounds to the baby's weight to get the mother's.
We can show it like this:
x+7437=y.
We know what the baby's weight is (1400 lbs), so just sub it in:
1400+7437=y
y=8837 lbs
The mom weighs 8837 pounds.

A rectangular field is twice as long as it is wide. if the perimeter of the field is 450 yards. what are the fields dimensions?
Nat2105 [25]
Let width = x
let length = 2x
x + 2x = 450
3x = 450
x = 150
width = 150
length = 2x = 2 (150) = 300

How do you find the perimeter
lukranit [14]

The perimeter is 86 m.

When you add the 18 with the 11, you get the length of the bottom side, which is 29. When you add the nine and the 6, you get the length of the left side, which is 15. Now add everything together.

18 + 6 + 11 + 9 + 29 + 15 = 86 m

Hope I helped. Good luck!! : )

What is the inverse of f (x)=e^x+6
goldfiish [28.3K]
To find the inverse, switch the variables and solve for f(x).

x = e^f(x) + 6
x - 6 = e^f(x)
f(x) = ln(x-6)

hope this helps :)
