First, you should combine the x terms:

-3x - 7 = 29

Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.

-3x = 22

Finally divide 22 by -3, to solve for x.

x = -22/3 or -7.33

combine like terms
-3x-7=29

add both sides by 7 to cancel it out
-3x-7=29
+7 +7

-3x=36

divide by -3 on both sides to cancel it out
-3x=36
— —
-3 -3

x= -12

Answer:

$1 every 3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Cause every 36 minutes Scarlett earns $12 and if you divide 36 by 12 it will give 3 minutes which means she earns $1 per 3 minutes. You're right.

Answer:

Part 1) The inequality that represent this situation is $5(x+7)^{2} \geq1,050$ or $5x^{2}+70x+245 \geq1,050$

Part 2) Yes, 8 inches is a reasonable width for his tablet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

L -----> the length of the screen television

W ----> the width of the screen television

x ----> the width of Andrew's tablet

we know that

$L=5W$ ------> equation A

$W=x+7$ ----> equation B

The area of the television is

$A=LW$ -----> equation C

Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C

$A=5(x+7)(x+7)$

$A=5(x+7)^{2}$

$5(x+7)^{2} \geq1,050$

$5(x^{2}+14x+49) \geq1,050$

$5x^{2}+70x+245 \geq1,050$ ------> inequality that represent this situation

Part 2) Determine if 8 inches is a reasonable width for his tablet

For x=8 in

Substitute in the inequality

$5(8+7)^{2} \geq1,050$

$5(15)^{2} \geq1,050$

$1,125 \geq1,050$ -----> is true

therefore

Yes, 8 inches is a reasonable width for his tablet

zhannawk [14.2K]

The function

... f(x) = (x+2)/(x-1) = 1 + 3/(x-1)

is symmetrical about the line y=x, hence is its own inverse.

We can evaluate the desired derivative directly.

... f'(x) -3/(x-1)²

so f'(2) is

... f'(2) = -3/(2-1)²

$(f^{-1})(2)=-3$
