8-4x-7=5x+30-2
combine like terms
1-4x=5x+28
-27=9x
divide both sides by nine
-3=x

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

3x + x + x + x − 3 − 2 = 7 + x + x In the equation above, what is the value of x?

algol13

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + x + x + x − 3 − 2 = 7 + x + x

Combine like terms

6x -5 = 7+2x

Subtract 2x from each side

6x-2x -5 = 7+2x-2x

4x-5 =7

Add 5 to each side

4x-5+5 = 7+5

4x =12

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3

Work Out<br> 8^1/3 ÷ 5^-2

svp [43]

I believe the answer would be 50

explanation:

calculate
2 ÷ 5^-2

use negative power rule x^-a = 1/x^a
2 ÷ 1/5^2

simply 5^2 to 25
2 ÷ 1/25

use this rule a ÷ b/c = a • c/b
2 • 25

simplify
50
