-5(-2b-1)
Collect like terms and simplify
(Multiply the number outside the bracket with the ones in the parentheses/bracket)
(-x-)= +
(+x+)= +
(-x+)= -
(+x-)= -
Basically same signs multiplied = +
Different signs multiplied = -
-5(-2b)= 10b
-5(-1)=5
10b+5 is your answer

Cards = x

Bouquets = y

They spend 2 on each card so 2x and 3.50 for each bouquet so 3.50y add those together to get the total they can spend 2x + 3.50y = 360

Then add the sales together: 6x + 8y = 900

Answer: D. 2x + 3.50y = 360; 6x + 8y = 900

please help! functions and relations. f(x)= square root of x-4. find the inverse of f(x) and it’s domain.

likoan [24]

ANSWER:

$\:D.\text{ }f^{-1}\left(x\right)=\left(x+4\right)^2;x\ge-4$

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following equation:

$f(x)=\sqrt{x}-4$

The inverse is the following (we calculate it by replacing f(x) by x and x by f(x)):

$\begin{gathered} x=\sqrt{f^{-1}(x)}-4 \\ \\ \sqrt{f^{-1}(x)}=x+4 \\ \\ f^{-1}(x)=(x+4)^2 \end{gathered}$

The domain would be the range of the original equation, and it would be the range of values that f(x) could take, which was from -4 to positive infinity, that is, f(x) ≥ -4.

Therefore, the domain is x ≥ -4.

So the correct answer is D.
