Which function below is the inverse of f(x)= 3x+5/7

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Inverse
replace f(x) wih y
solve for x
replace x with f⁻¹(x) and y with x

so

f(x)=3x+5/7
replace
y=3x+5/7
solve for x
minnus 5/7 both sides
y-5/7=3x
divide both sides by 3
$\frac{y- \frac{5}{7} }{3}$ =x
replace with f⁻¹(x)

f⁻¹(x)= $\frac{y- \frac{5}{7} }{3}$

Nine less than three times a number is greater than forty

pentagon [3]

Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40

So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3
