Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

base is x

one of the legs measure 4x-6

therefore, perimeter is equal to

2 (4x - 6) + x = 96

8x - 12 + x = 96

9x = 96 + 12

9x = 108

x = 108/9 = 12 units

Please help!! <br><br><br> Find the inverse of y=7x-10. Is the inverse a function?

kolezko [41]

Answer: $f^{-1}$ (x) = $\frac{x+10}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse , all we need do is to make x the subject of the formula.

y = 7x - 10

Add 10 to both sides

y + 10 = 7x

divide both sides by 7

Therefore:

x = y + 10 / 7 , that is

$f^{-1}$ (x) = $\frac{x+10}{7}$
