(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...

... 5x = 6(x -1.75)

(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.

... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x

... 0 = x -10.50

... 10.50 = x

(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50

... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value

(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.

If mc010-1.jp g and mc010-2.jp g, which expression could be used to verify that mc010-3.jp g is the inverse of mc010-4. ? mc010-
solmaris [256]

if indeed two functions are inverse of each other, then their composite will render a result of "x", namely, if g(x) is indeed an inverse of f(x), then

\bf (g\circ f)(x)=x\implies g(~~f(x)~~)=x \\\\\\ \begin{cases} f(x) = 3x\\ g(x)=\cfrac{1}{3}x \end{cases}\qquad \qquad g(~~f(x)~~)=\cfrac{1}{3}[f(x)]\implies g(~~f(x)~~)=\cfrac{1}{3}(3x)
