1 hour = 60 minutes.
Convert the minutes to decimals by diving by 60
30/60 = 0.5
2 hours and 30 minutes = 2.5 hours
45/60 = 0.75
5 hours 45 minutes = 5.75 hours
15/50 = 0.25
3 hours 15 minutes = 3.25 hours
Ow add all the hours:
2.5 + 5 + 5.75 + 3.25 = 16.5 hours
Answer: B. 16.50
Lets get started :)
f(x) =

- 2
y =

- 2
This is the original equation, and now we have to find the inverse.
When finding the inverse, just flip the variables, x as y and y as x
f ⁻¹(x)
↓
x =

- 2
We have to isolate y as it is our f ⁻¹(x)
Take 2 to the other side { When you see subtraction, you do addition }
x + 2 =

Take 9 to the other side { When you see division, you do multiplication }
9 ( x + 2 ) = y
9x + 18 = y
f ⁻¹ (x) = 9x + 18
