A Puzzle
What is the missing number?
− 2 = 4
OK, the answer is 6, right? Because 6 − 2 = 4. Easy stuff.
Well, in Algebra we don't use blank boxes, we use a letter (usually an x or y, but any letter is fine). So we write:
x − 2 = 4
It is really that simple. The letter (in this case an x) just means "we don't know this yet", and is often called the unknown or the variable.
And when we solve it we write:
x = 6
The correct answer is option A.
One way to check if a function is inverse of the other is to take their composition. The composition of two inverse functions will always result in x.
Thus x - 2 and x + 2 are the inverse of each other.
<span>Given number is 41/50,
Now, let’s find which one is closer to the given choices:
=> 9/11
=> 10/11
Notice that the given number and given choices are fraction numbers. In order
know which one is closer to the given number, we need to convert these numbers
into a decimal.
Note, that in converting a fraction number to a decimal is we need to divide
our numerator by our denominator to get the answer.
=> 41/50
=> 0.82
The value of 41/50 is 0.82. Now, let’s find the value of the given choices.
=> 9/11
=> 0.818 or 0.82
=> 10/11
=>0.909 or 0.91
Thus, the correct answer is 9/11 is equals to 41/50.</span>
Find the number of miles driven by subtracting the odometer readings:
74545 - 74233 = 312 miles driven.
Divide miles driven by gallons of gas used:
312 / 9 = 34.66 = 35 miles per gallon.
