When solving algebraic word problems, we first set a variable to what we are trying to find. Then some "then" statements.

Let x = the smaller number
Then x + 8 = the bigger number

The sum of x and x + 8 is 102.

x + x + 8 = 102

Solve for x.

x + x + 8 = 102
2x + 8 = 102 <--- Combine like terms
2x = 94 <--- Subtract each side by 8
x = 47

Then the bigger number is 47 + 8 or 55.

So, the two numbers are 47 and 55.

The correct numbers are 55 and 47, because they have a difference of 8 and a sum of 102.

Find the inverse function of
shtirl [24]

Answer:

f(x) = 20x - 4 \\ substitute \: y \: for \: f(x) \\ y = 20x - 4 \\ interchange \: x \: and \: y \\ x = 20y - 4 \\ swap \: the \: sides \: of \: the \: equation \\ 20y - 4 = x \\ move \: the \: constant \: to \: the \: right \: hand \\ 20y = x + 4  \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 20 \\ y =  \frac{1}{20} x +  \frac{1}{5}  \\ substitute \: f {}^{ - 1} (x) \: for \: y \\ f {}^{ - 1} (x) =  \frac{1}{20} x +  \frac{1}{5}

The domain of the inverse of a relation is the same as the range of the original relation. In other words, the y-values of the relation are the x-values of the inverse.

Thus, domain of f(x): x∈R = range of f¯¹(x)

and range of f(x): x∈R =domain of f¯¹(x)
