Answer:

W=7 and L=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two unknowns so we must create two equations.

First the problem states that  length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width so: L= 3w-10

Next we are given the area so: L X W = 77

Then solve for the variable algebraically. It is just a system of equations.

3W^2 - 10W - 77 = 0

(3W + 11)(W - 7) = 0

W = -11/3 and/or W=7

Discard the negative solution as the width of the rectangle cannot be less then 0.

So W=7

Plug that into the first equation.

3(7)-10= 11 so L=11

Find the inverse of y=1/2x+6. Show steps
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

y = 2x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function, you switch x and y and solve for y.

x = 1/2 y + 6                 switch x and y

x - 6 = 1/2 y                  subtract 6 from both sides

2x - 12 = y                    multiply both sides by 2
