11% = 16.5
1% = 16.5 / 11
= 1.5
100% = 1.5 * 100
= 150. His weight two years ago was 150 pounds.

X + (x * .11) = x + 16.5
2x * .11 = x + 16.5
Subtract x from both sides.
x * .11 = 16.5
Divide by .11 on both sides.
x = 150

Ray weighed 150 pounds two years ago.

Lady bird [3.3K]

1. A chess player moves a knight from the location (3,2) to (5,1) on a chessboard.This means that

(3,2)→(5,1).

the translation rule is

(x,y)→(x+2,y-1) or in words 2 units right and 1 unit down.

2. If the player moves the knight from (5, 1) to (6, 3), then the translation is

(5,1)→(6,3)

and the rule is

(x,y)→(x+1,y+2).

This is translation 1 unit right and 2 units up.

What is the value of x in the equation?
Roman55 [17]

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2.5(6x−4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2.5(6x−4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)

(2.5)(6x)+(2.5)(−4)=10+(4)(1.5)+(4)(0.5x)(Distribute)

15x+−10=10+6+2x

15x−10=(2x)+(10+6)(Combine Like Terms)

15x−10=2x+16

15x−10=2x+16

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

15x−10−2x=2x+16−2x

13x−10=16

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

13x−10+10=16+10

13x=26

Step 4: Divide both sides by 13.

13x

13

=

26

13

x=2

What’s the inverse of <br> f(x) = -2 + 2/3x
saveliy_v [14]

So the steps to find the inverse are:

  1. Change f(x) to y
  2. Switch the positions of x and y
  3. Solve for y
  4. Change y to f^-1(x)

f(x)=-2+ \frac{2}{3}x\\\\y=-2+ \frac{2}{3}x\\\\x=-2+ \frac{2}{3}y

Now let's solve for y as such:

x=-2+ \frac{2}{3}y \\\\x+2=\frac{2}{3}y\\\\\frac{3}{2} (x+2)=y\\\\\frac{3}{2}x+3=y\\\\\frac{3}{2}x+3=f^{-1}(x)

<u>Your inverse is f^-1(x) = 3/2x + 3</u>
