Answer:

19.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of brown paint to white paint is, 5:7 or \frac{5}{7} so if he bought 14 gallons of white paint we need to figure out:

\frac{5}{7} =\frac{14}{x}

which we can as it only has one unknown:

5x=14×7

5x=98

x=19.6

So the answer is 19.6

Answer:

B. 19.6 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

5 Gallons of Brown ⇒ 7 Gallons of White

14 Gallons of Brown ⇒ x

x = 7 into 14 / 5

x = 98 / 5

x = 19.6

inna [77]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

D. f⁻¹(x) = 2x + 10

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>The given is:</u>

f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x - 5

<u>To find the inverse, follow the below procedures:</u>

<u>1- Convert f(x) to y. </u>

<u>This will give:</u>

y = \frac{1}{2} x - 5

<u>2- Swap the x and y variables.</u>

<u>This will give:</u>

x = \frac{1}{2}y - 5

<u>3- Solve for y.</u>

<u>This will give:</u>

x = \frac{1}{2}y - 5\\ \\ \frac{1}{2}y = x+5\\ \\ y = 2x+10

<u>4- Replace the y in the above step with f⁻¹(x).</u>

<u>This will give us:</u>

f⁻¹(x) = 2x + 10

Hope this helps :)
