<span>Solve for x
-x=-5

multiply both sides by (-1)
</span>-x (-1) =-5 (-1)
simplify
x = 5

answer is 5 (positive 5)

X = -2 and x=-3 and yes. any values that can equal -5. negative plus a negative is a negative.

Reduce to simplest form. -\dfrac{1}{3}-\left(-\dfrac{3}{5}\right)=− 3 1 −(− 5 3 )=minus, start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, e

Answer:

-1/3 - (-3/5) = 4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Reduce to simplest form

-1/3 - (-3/5)

= -1/3 + 3/5

Find the Lowest Common Multiple of 3 and 5

Lowest Common Multiple of 3and 5 is 15

Use the LCM to Simplify

= {(-5*1)+(3*3)} / 15

= (-5+9) / 15

= 4/15

Therefore,

-1/3 - (-3/5) = 4/15

Given that f(x)=2x/3 evaluate f^-1(6)

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know by definition that

$f^{-1}(f(x))=x\\\\f^{-1}(\frac{2x}{3})=x\\\\f^{-1}(x)=ax\\\\f^{-1}(\frac{2x}{3})=a(\frac{2x}{3})=x\\\\f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3x}{2}$

so now we evaluate

$f^{-1}(6)=\frac{3*6}{2}\\\\=3*3\\\\f^{-1}(6)=9$

and if we want to do an extra step

$f^{-1}(f(6))=6\\\\f^{-1}(\frac{2*6}{3})=f^{-1}(4)=\frac{3*4}{2}=6$

which works.
