Hey there!!

Let us take the number as ' x '

20% of x

= (20/100) × ( x )

= ( 1/5 ) × ( x )

= x/5

The number is decreased by 20% of itself

x - x/5 = 56

5x - x / 5 = 56

4x/5 = 56

Multiplying by 5 on both sides

5x = 56 × 5

5x = 280

dividing by 5 on both sides

4x / 4 = 280 / 4

x = 70

The number is 70

Hope my answer helps!

Answer:

  f^-1(x) = x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of the function

  y = f(x)

solve the equation

  x = f(y)

for y.

Here, you want ...

  x = f(y)

  x = (y -6)

  x +6 = y . . . . . . add 6 to both sides

  \boxed{f^{-1}(x)=x+6}\\
