change both the fractions to improper fractions. the area will be 147/4 , and the width will be 9/2 . with both of these you may now divide, (147/4) / (9/2)
remember to use the KCF when dividing fractions.
147 * 2 = 294
4 * 9 = 36
your new fraction will be 294/36 .... which it is also 8 1/6
x^2 - 49 = 0
Add 49 to both sides:
x^2 = 49
Take the square root of both sides:
X = 7
This are the right steps
Step 1: first you divide the both size by 7 because there is 7 a's
7a/7 = 28/7
Step 2: You solve the equation
7a/7= a. 28/7 = 4
So, the answer is a = 4
not 7 = 4
F(x) = 4x - 9
let f(x) = y, this implies that x = f⁻¹(y)
y = 4x - 9 Let us solve for x.
4x - 9 = y
4x = y + 9
x = (y + 9)/4
Recall that x = f⁻¹(y),
x = (y + 9)/4
f⁻¹(y) = (y + 9)/4
That means that for f⁻¹(x)
f⁻¹(x) = (x + 9)/4
Hope this explains it.
