X represents the length of a deck. There are three parts to this equations. The 1. width, 2. the length, and 3. the 5 feet shorter. Using the key words, y = the width of a deck (uses the term is which means =) So that takes the width part out of the equation. Then, 5 feet shorter means -5 than a number. That takes away the 5 feet shorter part of the equation. That leaves x to equal the length of the deck.

Answer:

x=0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

1.convert to improper fractions

4x+9/7/3=3x/0.5

2.Apply fraction cross multiply

(4x+9) * 0.5=7/3 * 3x

3. simplify

(4x+9) *0.5 =7x

4.Expand

2x+4.5=7x

5.Subtract 4.5 from both sides

2x=7x-4.5

6.Subtract 7x from both sides

2x-7=7x-4.5-7x

7.Simplify

-5x=-4.5

7.Divide by -5

x=0.9

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

{(-14,9),(4,-7),(-8,6)}.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse you just swap x and y.

So if (a,b) is a point on the relation then (b,a) is on it's inverse.

So the inverse of {(9, –14), (–7, 4), (6, –8)} is:

{(-14,9),(4,-7),(-8,6)}.
