Answer:

-83

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(x+1)=number

x+(x+1)=-165

2x+1=-165

-1 -1

2x=-166

/2 /2

x=-83

We can check our work by adding -83+-82=-165 because -83 would be the smaller number.

Hey there! :)

Answer:

$g^{-1} (g(10))=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by calculating g(10):

g(x) = 3x - 6

Substitute in 10 for x:

g(10) = 3(10) - 6

g(10) = 30-6

g(10) = 24.

Plug '24' into 'x' into $g^{-1} (x)$

$g^{-1} (24)=\frac{(24) + 6}{3}$

Simplify:

$g^{-1} (24)=\frac{30}{3}$

$g^{-1} (24)=10$
