Let us try to formulate the expressions one by one.
let the number be x.
Step 1:
six time the number is 6*x = 6x
Step 2:
product of the number and -3 is -3x
Step 3:
now let us make equation for it:

adding 3x on the left side,


dividing right side by 9
x=45/9 = 5
So the number is x=5
Answer:
(3rd listed choice) Paula's notes are incorrect. Step 4a should be "If the result does not define y as a function of x, then f does not have an inverse," and step 4b should be "If the result defines y as a function of x, then f has an inverse."
Step-by-step explanation:
If f(y) = x can be solved for a relation for y that is a function, then f(x) has an inverse. It will be the function defined by y.
