You know that an expression is simplified when there are no like terms left to combine. But 2 - 3 can be simplified further, it equals -1

To have a number in simplest form is to have the number at a point where it can not be divided into anymore whole numbers.  For example, 4/8 can be simplified into 1/2, but 3/5 can not be simplified.  There is nothing they can both be divided by to become whole numbers.  So, let's walk through 2-3.  2 - 3 = -1.  therefore, we can change the problem into 2/1 - 3/1.  We don't have to, but it might help.  Then we know that 2/1 - 3/1 = -1/1.  Then we look at -1/1.  Can it be divided by anything to become a new whole number?  No.  Therefore, we can safely take away the denominator, and call it -1.  So -1 is in simplest form.  :D  I hope that helped.

If f(x) = 12x+2, then f^-1(x) =??​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 12x + 2

f^-1(x) = ?

Now

Let y = f(x)

or y = 12x + 2

Interchanging the role of x and y

x = 12y + 2

x - 2 = 12y

y = <u>x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u>

12

Therefore f^-1(x) = <u>x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u>

12

Hope it will help you.

Ratio is written in x:y. therefore for this case, red:yellow
5 : 7

since the question states that there are 392 yellow poms, the 7 units represents 392 yellow poms. now you have to gind what is one unit and then multiply by 5 to find the number of red poms.

392 represents 7 units
1 unit: 392/7=56
5 units: 5×56=280 red poms
