4 0

Answer:

a) There were 32 red pens and b) 16 blue pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

3:4

for 3:4 to be 2:1 we should add 5 in order for it to be 8:4 (2:1)

20 divided by 5 is equal to 4

8:4

8 times 4 is equal to 32

4 times 4 is equal to 16

Suppose f(x) = mx + b. What is the inverse function in terms of m and b?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

f^(-1)(x) = (x-b)/m  or  x/m - b/m

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y = mx + b

To find the inverse function, interchange x and y and solve for y, i.e.

x = my + b

my = x-b

y = (x-b)/m = x/m - b/m

If a line has a slope of 9/5. If one of the points on the line is (-10, -16), which could be another point?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

(–5, –7)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Slope = 9/5

Coordinate 1 = (–10, –16)

x₁ = –10

y₁ = –16

Coordinate 2 = (x₂, y₂)

Next, we shall determine the change in x and y coordinate. This can be obtained as follow:

Slope = change in y–coordinate / change in x–coordinate

Slope = Δy / Δx

Slope = 9/5

9/5 = Δy / Δx

Thus,

Δy = 9

Δx = 5

Next, we shall determine the second coordinates as follow:

Δy = y₂ – y₁

Δx = x₂ – x₁

For x–coordinate:

x₁ = –10

Δx = 5

Δx = x₂ – x₁

5 = x₂ – (–10)

5 = x₂ + 10

Collect like terms

x₂ = 5 – 10

x₂ = – 5

For y–coordinate:

y₁ = –16

Δy = 9

Δy = y₂ – y₁

9 = y₂ – (–16)

9 = y₂ + 16

Collect like terms

y₂ = 9 – 16

y₂ = – 7

Coordinate 2 = (x₂, y₂)

Coordinate 2 = (–5, –7)

400 reduced by 3 times my age is 163
Blababa [14]
400 - 3x = 163

Add 3x to both sides.

400 = 163 + 3x

Subtract 163 to both sides.

237 = 3x

237/3 = 79
