8x - 10 = 86 {combined like terms}

8x = 96 {added 10 to both sides}

x = 12 {divided both sides by 8}

3x - 5 = 31 {substituted 12, in for x, into 3x - 5}


width = 12 in.

length = 31 in.

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10?
Georgia [21]
Steps to finding the inverse:
1. Replace f(x) with y.
2. Swap x and y.
3. Solve the equation for y.

f(x) = 2x - 10
1. y = 2x - 10
2. x = 2y - 10
3. Add 10 to both sides
x + 10 = 2y
Divide both sides by 2
(x + 10)/2 = y
y = (x + 10)/2
f^-1(x) = (x + 10)/2

What is the standard form of the quadratic equation y=−1/2(x+5)^2−10?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

  y = -1/2x^2 -5x -45/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply it out and collect terms.

  y = -1/2(x^2 +10x +25) -10 . . . . . expand the square

  y = -1/2x^2 -5x -25/2 -20/2 . . . eliminate parentheses

  y = -1/2x^2 -5x -45/2 . . . . . . . . collect terms

What is the surface area of the figure
stiv31 [10]
So just find the measues of the faces
15 times 4=rightmost face
9 times 4=oposite face
9 times 4=lower top face
to find topmost face
15-9=6
4 times 6=topmost face
sides
can be split up into 2 rectangles
15 by 9 and 6 by 6
2 of them
2 times (15 times 9+6 times 6)
bottom=15 times 4
not seen face=6 times 4

total area=(15 times 4)+(9 times 4)+(9 times 4)+(4 times 6)+(2 times ((15 times 9)+(6 times 6)))+(15 times 4)+(6 times 4)
total area=60+36+36+24+(2 times (135+36))+60+24
total area=60+36+36+24+(2 times 171)+60+24
total area=60+36+60+342+60+24
toal area=582

answer is B
