Answer:

38.5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent Mrs.Kelly's age with the parameter (k). It is given that her brother is (15) years younger than her, thus his age is (k - 15). It is given that the sum of their ages is (62). Therefore one can form an equation with the given information and solve for the unknown.

(Mrs.Kelly's age) + (Brother) = (62)

Substitute,

(k) + (k - 15) = 62

Simplify,

k + k - 15 = 62

2k - 15 = 62

Inverse operations,

2k - 15 = 62

2k = 77

k = 38.5

Helppp!! I NEED HELP PLEASE

Elodia [21]

Given:

The table of values for the function f(x).

To find:

The values $f^{-1}(f(3.14))$ and $f(f(-7))$ .

Solution:

From the given table, it is clear that the function f(x) is defined as:

$f(x)=\{(-14,11),(-7,-12),(-12,-5),(9,1),(10,-2),(-2,13)\}$

We know that if (a,b) is in the function f(x), then (b,a) must be in the function $f^{-1}(x)$ . So, the inverse function is defined as:

$f^{-1}(x)=\{(11,-14),(-12,-7),(-5,-12),(1,9),(-2,10),(13,-2)\}$

And,

$f^{-1}(f(a))=f^{1}(b)$

$f^{-1}(f(a))=a$ ...(i)

Using (i), we get

$f^{-1}(f(3.14))=3.14$

Now,

$f(f(-7))=f(-12)$

$f(f(-7))=5$

Therefore, the required values are $f^{-1}(f(3.14))=3.14$ and $f(f(-7))=5$ .

How many solutions can be found for the linear equation?<br><br> 4(x + 5) - 5 = <br> 8x + 18<br> 2

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$4x + 20 - 5 = 0 \\ 4x + 15 = 0 \\ 4x = - 15 \\ x = - \frac{15}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x + 18 = 0 \\ 8x = - 18 \\ x = - \frac{18}{8} \\ x = - \frac{9}{4}$

If A (-3, 4) is one endpoint of a segment and B(-4,7) is the midpoint of the segment, find the other endpoint.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Take the slopes, such that 7-4/-4+3= 3/-1=-3

So one endpoijt is (-5,10)
