Answer:
a = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a - 3/10 = 1/5
Add 3/10 to each side
a - 3/10 +3/10 = 1/5+3/10
a = 1/5+3/10
Get a common denominator
a= 1/5*2/2 +3/10
a = 2/10 +3/10
a = 5/10
Divide the top and bottom by 5
a = 1/2
It would take 1 1/2 hour to walk three miles.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Choice B ( (x+6)/5) )
Discussion:
y = f(x) = 5x - 6
To solve for the inverse of f, replace "y" by "x" and "x" by "y" in the original equation. That is, solve for "y" in
x = 5y -6 => add 6 to both sides
x + 6 = 5y => divide both sides by 5
y = (x+6)/5
"y" above is the inverse, which is Choice B
Thank you,
