If we multiply the second equation by 2 we get

a + 2/3b = 18 ............(3)
a + 3b = 39................(1) 
(1) - (3) gives:-
7/3 b = 21
b =  21 * 3/7 = 9 

plug b = 9 in equation (1):-

a + 3(9) = 39 

a = 39-27 = 12 

Answer:- a = 12 and b = 9.

Given:

Alexis has a rectangular backyard that is 50 yards by 55 yards.

She wants to build a fence that stretches diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner.

To find:

The length of the fencing she needs.

Solution:

We have,

Length = 50 yards

Width = 55 yards

We know that, the diagonal of a rectangle is

Diagonal=\sqrt{length^2+width^2}

Diagonal=\sqrt{(50)^2+(55)^2}

Diagonal=\sqrt{2500+3025}

Diagonal=\sqrt{5525&#10;}

On further simplification, we get

Diagonal=74.3303437

Diagonal\approx 74.3

Therefore, the length of the required fencing is 74.3 yards.

Given the function f(x) = 3x, find the value of f−1(27). f−1(27) = 1 f−1(27) = 3 f−1(27) = 9 f−1(27) = 81
Mariulka [41]
Fun fact
if f(a)=b then f⁻¹(b)=a
so
if f⁻¹(b)=a then f(a)=b
 
so we find f(x)=27 and the solve for x

f(x)=3x=27
3x=27
divide both sides by 3
x=9

so if f(9)=27 then f⁻¹(27)=9
problem solved

answer is 9
