Because jonny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby and bobby's list had 3 more than twice that of johny, the "twice" is 5. Two possible answers for this problem could be 13 and 5 since they both satisfy the requirement. if you can't logically deduct a function for it, look at the problem closely, then test and guess! Have fun with math!

Answer:

<h2>Bobby made the Christmas list with 13 items, and Johnny with only 5 items.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

"Bobby's Christmas list hat 3 more than twice as many items than Johnny's". This statement is represented by:

B=2J+3; where B is Bobby, and J is Johnny.

Then, the problem states, "Johnny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby", it's represented by:

J=B-8

Now, to find the value of each variable, we solve this system of equations by substitution:

B=2J+3\\B=2(B-8)+3\\B=2B-16+3\\13=2B-B\\B=13

Then, we replace this into second equation to find J:

J=B-8=13-8=5

Therefore, Bobby made the Christmas list with 13 items, and Johnny with only 5 items.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5/-7×-11/-6

= (-5 * -11)  / (-7*-6)

= 55 / 42.

A. =  - (6/-11) = 6/11

-5/7 * 6/11 =  -30/77.

B.   - (-11/7) = 11/7

5/6 * 11/7

Which represents the inverse of the function f(x) = 4x? h(x) = x + 4 h(x) = x – 4 h(x) = three-quartersx h(x) = one-quarterx
aalyn [17]

Answer:

\large\boxed{f^{-1}(x)=h(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x\to y=4x\\\\\text{exchange}\ x\ \text{to}\ y\to x=4y\\\\\text{solve for}\ y:\\\\4y=x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4y}{4}=\dfrac{x}{4}\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x
