Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) P = 5G

(2) G + P = 30

Substituting (1) into (2) gives:

G + 5G = 30

6G = 30

G =5

So there are 5 green pencils.

Now using that in (1) gives us P = 5 x 5 = 25

So there are 5 green pencils and 25 purple pencils.

What is the inverse function of f(x)= 4- x/6

Westkost [7]

Answer:

$f^{-1}(x) = 6(4-x) = 24-6x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $y=f(x)$ and swap x and y:

$x = 4 - \frac{y}{6}$

Then, rearranging for y:

$x+\frac{y}{6} = 4$

$\frac{y}{6}= 4-x$

$y= 6(4-x) = 24-6x$
