Answer:
2. x = 47
3. x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
These problems involve proportions, or equivalent ratios. You can solve for 'x' in each by using cross-multiplication and division.
2. 28(7) = 4(x + 2)
Distribute = 196 = 4x + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides: 196 - 8 = 4x + 8 - 8 or 188 = 4x
Solve for x: x = 47
3. 2(2x + 7) = 11(3x - 4)
Distribute: 4x + 14 = 33x - 44
Add 44 to both sides: 4x + 14 + 44 = 33x - 44 + 44 or 4x + 58 = 33x
Subtract 4x from both sides: 4x + 58 - 4x = 33x - 4x or 58 = 29x
Solve for x: x = 2

Answer:
f(x) = -5x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to get the inverse of the following function:
f^-1(x) = (-1/5)x - 4/5
To do that, we have to replace x with f(x) and f^-1(x) with x, as follows:
x = (-1/5)f(x) - 4/5
And then solve for f(x), the inverse of f^-1(x).
x + 4/5 = (-1/5)f(x)
f(x) = -5x + (-5)4/5
f(x) = -5x - 4
To check our result we compute a pair (x, f(x))
x f(x)
1 -5*1 - 4 = -9
which has to be equivalent to (-9, 1) in the original function
x f^-1(x)
-9 (-1/5)*(-9) - 4/5 = 1
The correct answer is B -8 just do the work :)
