Hi there!

The first correct step for solving the equation will be to get rid of the parentheses, and it will be like so,

-5(4x - 7)

Divide -5 on both 4x and -7, you will get, -20x + 35.

Hope this helped!~

If f(x) = 5x + 4, which of the following is the inverse of (fx)?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject, that is

y = 5x + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y - 4 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )

$\frac{y-4}{5}$ = x

Change y back into terms of x

$f^{-1}$ (x) = $\frac{x-4}{5}$

Answer:

<u>112 children</u>

<u>180 adults</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults = A

Let the number of children = C

A + C =292

4A + 1.5C = 888. solve for A, C

A = 292 - C

4[292 - C] + 1.5C = 888

1,168 - 4C + 1.5C = 888

-2.5C = - 280

C = -280 / -2.5

C = 112 - Number of children

292 - 112 = 180 - Number of adults
