10 times the sum of half a number and 6 is 8

1 answer:

8 0

10 (x/2 +6)=8
10x/2 +60=8
Subtract 60 from both sides
10x/2+60-60=8-60
10x/2= -52
Multiply both sides by 2
(10x/2)*2= -52*2
10x= -104
Divide both sides by 10
10x/10=-104/10
Answer: x= -10.4

The perimeter of a regular 6 -sided figure is 30 units, and the length of each side is x + 1 units.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

since each side is equal to x + 1 and there are 6 sides, to get x alone, you have to subtract 1, six times from the perimeter.

1 × 6 = 6

30 - 6 = 24

then divide that by the number of sides (6)

24 ÷ 6 = 4

x = 4!

Let f(x)=3x-6. Is f one-to-one? If it is find f^-1, if not explain why.

beks73 [17]

Answer: Yes, $\bold{f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x+6}{3}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = 3x - 6 is a line so it is a function because

it passes the vertical line test

and the horizontal line test

To find the inverse, swap the x's and y's and solve for y

$y=3x-6\\\\\\\text{Swap the x's and y's:}\qquad x=3y-6\\\\\text{Add 6 to both sides:}\qquad x+6=3y\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 3:}\qquad \dfrac{x+6}{3}=y$
