So for this question (for finding x and y) you will want to use elimination. To do this you will need to bring the x and y to the same side (I put them on the left):
-3/2x+y=6
x+y=0
Now subtract the y on the bottom from the top to isolate x:
3/2x=6
Now the easiest way to bring over the 3/2 to isolate the x fully is to convert it to decimal (1.5) and divide it by 6 (because when multiplication on one side of problem the only way to bring it over is to divide):
x=6/1.5
which simplifies to:
x=4
Hope this helps!

Find the inverse of f(x)=4x+3

zhuklara [117]

$f(x) = 4x+3\\\\\text{Write f(x) as y = 4x+3}\\\\\text{Replace x with y,}\\\\x =4y +3\\\\\text{Solve for y:}\\\\ \implies x =4y+3\\\\\implies 4y = x-3 \\\\\implies y =\dfrac{x-3}4\\\\\implies f^{-1} (x) = \dfrac{x-3}4\\\\\text{This is the inverse of f(x)}$

Find the value of x. Then find the measure of each labeled angle.

adell [148]

Answer:

x = 111

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x - 42 = 180 {Lines are parallel. So, they are supplementary}

2x - 42 = 180

Add 42 to both sides

2x - 42 + 42 = 180 + 42

2x = 222 {Divide both sides by 2}

x = 222/2

x = 111
