Lightbulbs act as resistors. Janine is building a circuit that contains two lightbulbs in parallel. One of the lightbulbs has a
resistance of 120 ohms, but the resistance of the second lightbulb is unknown. She models the total resistance in the circuit, t, with this equation, in which r represents the resistance of the second lightbulb. t = 120 r r + 120 Find the inverse of Janine’s equation.
