This question is basically the same as the other question of yours that I answered, so the explanation is very similar:
You can imagine the possibilities as leaves on a tree. Your tree has 2 large branches to represent the two possible sizes. Each of those branch off into 8 smaller branches, each representing a crust flavor. Each one of the smaller branches has 8 leaves to represent a different topping. Each leaf is a combination of a size, a crust flavor, and a topping, so it represents a complete pizza. Your job is to calculate the number of leaves.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
First figure out the equation:
We know this is a linear equation because it appears to have a constant slope
Its y-intercept is where it passes in the y-axis, so it's -8
Furthermore, you should also figure out the slope. Notice that the y value increments by 3 every 1 x-value. Rise/Run is 3/1 = 3. Thus, the slope is 3
So your equation is g(x) = 3x - 8
Now we find our inverse function, which is just swapping the x-y values.
Thus, inverse of g(x) ==> y = 3x - 8 ==> x = 3y - 8 ==> x+8 = 3y ==>
Plug in 7 for x and you get 5
