Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul: 140 + 12x

Jacklyn: 56 + 16x

Where x is how many practice sessions he had this season

"After how many more practices will Paul and Jacklyn have completed the same number of laps?"

This means what will x be if both equations are equal to each other

140 + 12x = 56 + 16x

Isolate x in one side by subtracting both sides by 12x

140 + 12x - 12x = 56 + 16x - 12x

140 = 56 + 4x

Subtract both sides by 56 to shift the 56 from the right side to the left side

140 - 56 = 56 - 56 + 4x

84 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

84/4 = 4/4x

21 = x

x = 21

They'll have completed the same number of laps after 21 practices

Hope it helps :)

Solve for L:<br> P=2L+2W

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$L=\frac{1}{2}P-W$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for L.

$P=2L+2W$

Step 1: Flip the equation.

$2L+2W=P$

Step 2: Add $-2W$ to both sides.

$2L+2W+-2W=P+-2W$

$2L=P-2W$

Step 3: Divide both sides by $2$ .

$\frac{2L}{2}=\frac{P-2W}{2}$

$L=\frac{1}{2}P-W$

Answer:

$L=\frac{1}{2}P-W$

Find the inverse of the given function. f(x) = 7x – 4

lukranit [14]

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{y = \frac{x + 4}{7}}$

f(x) = 7x - 4

Rewrite f(x) with y:

y = 7x - 4

Swap the x and y variables:

x = 7y - 4

Solve for y:

x + 4 = 7y

y = (x + 4)/7
