Answer: $34

<h2><u>Known:</u></h2>

Jenny=2 h (hammers) + 1 w (wrench)=$47

Penny=1 h + 3 w=$41

<h2><u>Solve:</u></h2>

2h+1w=47

1h+3w=41

2h+1w=47

2h+6w=82

5w=35

w=7

h=20

1h+2w=1(20)+2(7)=$34

the perimeter of the rectangle below is 98 units. Find the length of CD. Write your answer without variables. cd=4x+3 cb=5x+1

zimovet [89]

$2(4x + 3) + 2(5x + 1) = 98 \\ 8x + 6 + 10x + 2 = 98 \\ 18x + 8 = 98 \\ 18x = 90 \\ x = 5$
Substitute x with 5,

CD =
$4x + 3 \\ = 4(5) + 3 \\ = 20 + 3 \\ = 23$
CD = 23 units

Hope this helps.

Find the inverse: f(x)=x+5/3x-1<br><br> f^-1x=

babunello [35]

We have $f(x)=\dfrac{x+5}{3x-1}$ .

To find inverse function $f^{-1}(x)$ we substitute x with $f^{-1}(x)$ and vice-versa to get

$x=\dfrac{f^{-1}(x)+5}{3f^{-1}(x)-1}$

Now solve for $f^{-1}(x)$ . Note that I will use $j$ instead.

$x=\dfrac{j+5}{3j-1} \\x(3j-1)=j+5 \\3jx-x=j+5 \\3jx-x-j-5=0 \\3jx-j=x+5 \\j(3x-1)=x+5 \\j=\dfrac{x+5}{3x-1}$

So we find that $f(x)=f^{-1}$ .

Hope this helps.
