Curtis threw 15 darts at a dartboard. 40% of his darts hit the bull's-eye. How many darts did not hit the bull's-eye?
ValentinkaMS [17]
<span>Curtis threw 15 darts at a dartboard. 40% of his darts hit the bull's-eye.
Let’s find out how many darts did not hit the bull's-eye.
=> 15 darts = 100%
=> 40% of 15 hits bull’s eye.
Now let’s solve:
=> 40% / 100% = .40
we need to get the 40% value of 15 to know how many darts was able to hit bull’s eye.
=> 15 * .40 = 6 darts
Thus, out of 15, 6 of the darts hit bull’s eye,.</span>

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?
tiny-mole [99]

F(X) = 2x + 1

Replace f(x) with y:

Y = 2x+ 1

Switch variables:

X = 2y + 1

Solve for Y:

Subtract 1 from both sides:

X- 1 = 2y

Divide both sides by 2:

X-1 / 2 = y

Rewrite so y is in the left side:

Y = x-1 / 2

Replace y with f^-1(x):

F^-1(x) = x-1 / 2

This can also be written as x/2 - 1/2

P = price of tickets
8.50p = 42.50

you then divide 8.50 on both sides
8.50p = 42.50
——— ———
8.50 8.50
p = 5

meaning Allison bought 5 tickets in total.
