Answer is 553 beasts
Step by step:
Multiply 158 by 3 to get 474
Divide 158 by 2 to get 79
Add 474 with 79 and get 553
(a) since we are given that f(8) = 9, the inverse of 9 is simply 8. Therefore, f^-1(9) = 8.
(b) Again, f is the inverse of f^-1, therefore, you simply switch numbers, and you get that f(-3) = -7.
Split 33 into two numbers that when added up are 33.
So 12 to 21, which when divided by 3, are 4 to 7.
