1) factor to see if you can get anything to cancel out before you multiply
2) the rest of my work is shown in the picture attached
3) the answer is n^2
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

Represent a(d) as y

Swap positions of d and y

Make y the subject


Replace y with a'(d)

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions
and 
To do this, we prove that:

Solving for 

Substitute
for d in 




Solving for: 

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in 

Add fractions



Hence:

4(-9*x)
Multiply the two numbers
-36x
Final answer: -36x
The isosceles triangle is missing so i have attached it.
Answer:
Length of unknown side = 5p + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In isosceles triangle, two of the sides are equal. In the attached triangle, we see that one of the equal sides is given as 5p + 3.
Thus,the second equal side is also 5p + 3.
Now, perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the three sides.
We have two sides and let the third side be denoted as x.
Thus;
Perimeter = (5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x
We are given perimeter = 15p + 12
Thus;
(5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x = 15p + 12
10p + 6 + x = 15p + 12
Rearranging, we have;
x = 15p - 10p + 12 - 6
x = 5p + 6
Well we can put that word problem into a equation so, 8+x/4=5. Now what I would do is move the 8 to the other side, and since it moved to the other side it becomes a -8 so now we have x/4 = -3. Now I would multiply both side by 4 to get x = -12
Answer= X = -12
