Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find common denominators. Note that what you multiply to the denominator, you must multiply to the numerator as well. The common denominator is 12:

(2/3) * (4/4) = (8/12)

(1/4) * (3/3) = (3/12)

Subtract:

(8/12) - (3/12) = (8 - 3)/12 = 5/12

5/12 is your answer.

irinina [24]

The equation would be 4y=5x 4(x+15)=5x x+15=y

let x be the amount that Shelia deposits each time

let y represent the amount that Sherri deposits each time

4(x+15)=5x

4x+60=5x

-4x -4x

60=x

Check:

x+15=y 60+15=y y=75

4(75)=5(60)

300=300

Shelia deposits $60 each time.

How do I confirm that f and g are inverses?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To show f and g are inverses we require to show that

f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x

f(g(x))

= f(6x - 4)

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

g(f(x))

= g( $\frac{x+4}{6}$ )

= ( 6 × $\frac{x+4}{6}$ ) - 4

= x + 4 - 4 = x

-------------------------------------------------

Hence f and g are inverses
