A varible represents the number u are looking for.
Example:
2x + 3x
Answer:
13 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the lawn: A=lw
w= 64 ft
P= 2(l+w)= 278 ft ⇒
bags of seed required:
- 4800/384= 12.5 so 13 full bags needed
Distribute 2/5 and 3/5 into the ():
2/5(a+b)+3/5(a+c)
2/5 a+ 2/5 b+3/5 a+ 3/5 c
combine the like terms:
2/5 a+3/5 a= 5/5 a --> 1a --> a
new simplified equation:
a+2/5 b+3/5 c
f(x) = (3x+5)/7
Step 1:
we write f(x) as y
y=(3x+5)/7
Step 2:
switch y by x and x by y
x=(3y+5)/7
Step 3:
solve for y,
x=(3y+5)/7
multiply both sides by 7
7x=3y+5
subtract 5 from left side
3y=7x-5
divide both sides by 3
y= (7x-5)/3
f⁻¹ (x) =(7x-5)/3
