-1 = z/3 - 7

Emily's Work:

-1 = z/3 - 7

-1(3)=z/3(3)-7

-3 = z - 7 

-3 -7 = z - 7 

z = -10

Right away without having to start at the beginning, I see that she has made a mistake at the 4th-5th line of work.


Instead of adding 7 to both sides, she subtracts it and still leaves it in and doesn't fully finish the equation, as it would really be z-7 = -10

In order to solve it, follow these steps:

Rewrite the initial equation as follows:

x/3 - 7 = -1 

Multiply both sides by 3
x/3(3)-7(3)=-1(3)

x - 21 = -3

Add 21 to both sides

x = 18

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an equilateral triangle, all the sides are equal.

7y + 5 = 9y - 3

5 + 3 = 9y - 7y

2y = 8

y = 8 ÷ 2

y = 4

Find the inverse of f(x) = -2x+5<br> The inverse is g(x) = <br> Graph the function and its inverse
vovikov84 [41]

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=-2x+5

To find:

The inverse of the given function, then draw the graphs of function and its inverse.

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=-2x+5

Step 1: Substitute f(x)=y .

y=-2x+5

Step 2: Interchange x and y.

x=-2y+5

Step 3: Isolate variable y.

2y=5-x

y=\dfrac{5-x}{2}

Step 4: Substitute y=f^{-1}(x).

f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{5-x}{2}

Therefore, the inverse of the given function is f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{5-x}{2} and the graphs of these functions are shown below.

Note: The inverse function is f^{-1}(x)=g(x).

Answer:

The net pay is $382.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the paystub given, the regular earnings total $421.00.  However, it looks like there was an additional $78.00 in overtime.  So, the total gross pay, or the pay before any taxes or withholdings, is $499.00.  The items on the right of the paystub represent all of the taxes and withholdings that are taken out of each paycheck to give your 'net pay', which is the amount you will actually receive.  We we subtract the costs of Federal Taxes, FICA, State Taxes, Insurance, Retirement and Union Dues from the gross pay of $499.00, you are left with $383.86, which represents your net pay.
