Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What he did at the end of the given equations is solve for x in x + 8y= 21

x = 21 - 8y                Substitute that result in the top equation.

<u><em>7(21 - 8y) + 5y = 14 </em></u>  is the correct step To continue Remove the brackets

147 - 56y + 5y = 14   Combine

147 - 51y = 14             Add 51y to both sides.

147 = 51y + 14            Subtract 14 from both sides.

133 = 51y                   divide by 51

y = 2.61 rounded.

The incorrect step is <em><u>underlined and italicized.</u></em>

Find a formula for the inverse.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

f(x) = 6x

To find the inverse, replace f(x) with Y:

y = 6x

Now switch the variables:

x = 6y

Solve for Y by dividing both sides by 6:

y = x/6

Now replace y with f^-1 (x):

f^-1 (x) = x/6
