Let's call their parts w,m and s

if will paid 1/3, then m+s=2w (they paid 2/3, which is twice as much as will did)

Now, we know that:
Micah and Sue paid in the ratio 2:3.
this means the 3m=2s

and m=2/3s

Again:
m+s=2w

and we substitute m:
2/3s+s=2w
5/3s=2w// multiply both sides by 3
5s=6w

we also know that s=w+6 (from the last sentence) so we substitute:

5(w+6)=6w
5w+30=6w
30=w

so, Will paid 30, Sue paid 36 (six more than him), Mike paid 24 (24:36 is the same ratio as 2:3, you can check this by dividing both 24 and 36 by 12: you have 2 and 3)

and the total was 30+36+24=90.

What is the inverse of the given relation?<br> y=3x+12
stich3 [128]

For this case we have the following function:

y = 3x + 12

We change the variables:

x = 3y + 12

From here, we clear the value of y.

3y = x-12\\y = \frac {x} {3} -4

Then, we make the following change:

y = f (x) ^ {-1}

Finally, the inverse function is:

f (x) ^ {- 1} = \frac {x} {3} -4

Answer:

The inverse of the given relation is:

f (x) ^ {- 1} = \frac {x} {3} -4
