Answer:

a = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 3(a+4)-5(a-2) = 22

Opening Brackets

=> 3a+12-5a+10 = 22

=> 3a-5a+12+10 = 22

=> -2a+22 = 22

Subtracting 22 to both sides

=> -2a = 0

Dividing both sides by -2

We get,

=> a = 0

Answer:

a = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a+4)-5(a-2)=22

3a+12-5a+10=22

-2a+22=22

Subtract 22 from both sides

-2a=0

Multiply both sides by -1

2a= -0

2a=0

Divide both sides by 2

a=0

After the tour, Tyler’s mom bought a pretzel and a bottle of water for each family member. The bottles of water cost $1.50 each.

Delicious77 [7]

Each pretzel is 4.5 $

1.50 • 5 = 7.5
7.5 - 30 = 22.5
22.5 / 5 = 4.5

so in conclusion, those are some expensive a** pretzels.

If f(x) = 4(3x - 5), find f^-1(x)

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call f(x)=y, so y= 4*(3*x-5), we want to find 'x', using 'y' as a the variable.

$y=12x-20\\ y+20=12x\\ x=\frac{y+20}{12}$

Now lets change the name of 'y' to 'x', and 'x' to f^-1(x).

f-1(x) = (x+20)/12

Select the expression that simplifies to 1 / x^1/8

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

$\left(\displaystyle \sqrt[3]{x^{-\tfrac 35}}\right)^{\tfrac 58}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(\displaystyle \sqrt[3]{x^{-\tfrac 35}}\right)^{\tfrac 58}\\\\\\=\left[ \left(\displaystyle x^{-\tfrac 35} \right)^{\tfrac 13 \right]^{\tfrac 58}\\\\\\=\left( \displaystyle x^{-\tfrac 35}\right)^{\tfrac 5{24}}\\\\\\=x^{ \displaystyle -\tfrac{3}{24} \right}\\\\\\=x^{\displaystyle -\tfrac 18 }\\\\\\=\dfrac 1{x^{\tfrac 18}}$
