Answer:
the answer would be f(x)=x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Each hour,
x makes b/6 bearings
y makes b/4 bearings
z makes b/3 bearings
Together, each hour, x, y and z together make 
b/6+b/4+b/3=b(1/6+1/4+1/3)=b(2/12+3/12+4/12)=b(3/4)=3b/4 bearings.
Time to make b bearings =
b/(3b/4)=4/3 hours = 1 hour 20 minutes.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
x+3y=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x+3y)=18
x+3y=18/-2
x+3y=-9
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
9 - 2(7 - 8)
