Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

51-x-5*19= -5x

51-5*19= -4x

4x=5*19-51

4x=95-51

4x=44

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

let x year ago son age was 5 time his father age.

age of son before x year = 19-x

age of father before x year = 51-x

NOW

according to the question

5(19-x) =51-x

95-5x =51-x

95-51 = -X-5x

44 = 4x

x=11

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10?
Georgia [21]
Steps to finding the inverse:
1. Replace f(x) with y.
2. Swap x and y.
3. Solve the equation for y.

f(x) = 2x - 10
1. y = 2x - 10
2. x = 2y - 10
3. Add 10 to both sides
x + 10 = 2y
Divide both sides by 2
(x + 10)/2 = y
y = (x + 10)/2
f^-1(x) = (x + 10)/2
