Answer:

Substituting for a Variable

If you know the value that the variable is equal to, you can substitute that value in for the variable in the expression! Let's look at an example. Since we know that x=5, we can directly substitute or replace the x in the expression x+3 with a 5 to solve for y!

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this kinda helps

State of the given functions are inverses. Part 3. NO LINKS!!!!

Effectus [21]

Answer:

h(x)=-x-1

let y =-x-1

interchanging role of x & y

x=-y-1

y=-x-1

h-¹(x)=-x-1

again

f(x)=(2-3x)/2

let

y=(2-3x)/2

interchanging role of x & y

x=(2-3y)/2

2x-2=-3y

y=(2-2x)/3

f-¹(x)=(2-2x)/3

Given function are not inverse of each other.

10.

f(x)=-x+3

let y=-x+3

interchanging role of x & y

x=-y+3

y=3-x

f-¹(x)=-x+3

equal to g(x)=-x+3

Given function are inverse of each other.

which description best describes the solution to the following system of equations y= -2x +3 y= -x + 1

marin [14]

For this case we have the following system of equations:
$y = -2x +3

y = -x + 1$
Equating the values of y we have:
$-2x +3 = -x + 1
$
From here, we can clear the value of x.
We have then:
$-2x + x = 1 - 3

-x = -2

x = 2$
Then, we look for the value of y.
For this, we substitute x in any of the equations:
$y = -x + 1

y = -2 + 1

y = -1$
Answer:
The ordered pair solution of the system of equations, is given by:
$(x, y) = (2, -1)$

2/5 * n - 2/5 < 3/5 * n + 3/5
- 2/5 - 3/5 < 3/5 * n - 2/5 * n
- 5/5 < 1/5 * n
- 1 < 1/5 * n /*5
- 5 < n
n > - 5

n = x

The correct result would be B) x > - 5.
