Alright, first thing's first, simplify the equation as much as you can. If you wanted, I suppose you could just multiply everything by 40, but that's super unconventional.

7x/8 - 3x/8 = 1/5 + 3/10

Simplify:
4x/8 = 1/5 + 3/10

Make sure that when subtracting or adding fractions that the denominators (The number on the bottom of the fraction) are equal.

In order to add 1/5 and 3/10 together, all we have to do is ensure that both denominators are equal.

To do this, simply multiply 1/5 by 2/2. The new fraction will be 2/10 (You can do this since it's the exact same fraction, 2/10 will simplify down to 1/5. The reason we did this was to make sure that the two fractions had equal denominators).

Our equation now looks like this:
4x/8 = 2/10 + 3/10

Add the fractions on the right:
4x/8 = 5/10

Huh, whaddya know? Both the fraction on the left and the right can be simplified into 1/2! (4/8 becomes 1/2, and 5/10 becomes 1/2)

1x/2 = 1/2
x/2 = 1/2

If you want to, I suppose you could cross multiply to check, but the answer's already pretty obvious.

x = 1

Good luck! If you need me to explain anything I did here, just ask :))

Please answer correctly !!!!! Will mark brainliest !!!!!!!!!!!!
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Up by 3 units, right by 9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subtraction in (x-9)^2 makes the function shift to the right, adding would make it shift left! Adding numbers to the equation would make the function go up, and subtracting would make it go down. Hope this helps :)

Suppose f is a one-to-one function with f(2)=8 and f’(2)=4. What is the value of (f^-1)’(8)?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent line to f(x) at x=2 goes through the point (2, 8) and has slope 4.

The inverse function f⁻¹(x) is a reflection of the function f(x) across the line y=x. The corresponding tangent line will go through point (8, 2) and have slope 1/f'(2) = 1/4 at that point. That is, ...

(f⁻¹)'(8) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(8)) = 1/f'(2) = 1/4
