Answer:

The equation is 3x + 24 = 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Zach's age = x

If Zach added 8 to his age and multiplied this sum by 3.

Zach = 3(x + 8)

= 3x + 24

James = 6x

Zach's age = James's age

3x + 24 = 6x

Collect like terms

24 = 6x - 3x

24 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x = 24/3

= 8

x = 8

Check

Zach = 3(x + 8)

= 3(8+8)

= 3(16)

= 48 years

James = 6x

= 6(8)

= 48 years

The equation is 3x + 24 = 6x

If T: (x, y) → (x + 6, y + 4), then T-1: (x,y) → _____.
alexgriva [62]

T is a linear transformation from R²→R² with basis {(1,0),(0,1)}
T: (x,y)→(x+6,y+4)

A function from one vector space to another that preserves the underlying (linear) structure of each vector space is called a linear transformation.

Then the vector (1,0) goes to (1+6,4)=(7,4)=7(1,0)+4(0,1)

and the vector (0,1) goes to (6,1+4)=(6,5)=6(1,0)+5(0,1)

So, the matrix of the transformation is

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&6\\4&5\end{array}\right]

The inverse of the matrix is

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{5}{11}&\frac{-6}{11}\\ \\\frac{-4}{11}&\frac{7}{11}\end{array}\right]

So, the Inverse Transformation is given by

T^{-1}(x,y)=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{5}{11}&\frac{-6}{11}\\ \\\frac{-4}{11}&\frac{7}{11}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] =(\frac{5x-6y}{11}, \frac{-4x+7y}{11})

So, no option is correct. And the answer is

T^{-1}(x,y)=(\frac{5x-6y}{11}, \frac{-4x+7y}{11})
