Answer:

<h2><u>B.</u> <u>It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on EDG.

<em />

Simplifying

7h + -5(3h + -8) = -72

Reorder the terms:

7h + -5(-8 + 3h) = -72

7h + (-8 * -5 + 3h * -5) = -72

7h + (40 + -15h) = -72

Reorder the terms:

40 + 7h + -15h = -72

Combine like terms: 7h + -15h = -8h

40 + -8h = -72

Solving

40 + -8h = -72

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-40' to each side of the equation.

40 + -40 + -8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0

0 + -8h = -72 + -40

-8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: -72 + -40 = -112

-8h = -112

Divide each side by '-8'.

h = 14

Simplifying

h = 14

What is the insverse of the function f(x) =2x+1?
goldenfox [79]
F(x) = 2x + 1

To find the inverse of a function you just need to switch the x by y or vice-versa:

-> y = 2x + 1
-> x = 2y + 1

After that you isolate the y again:

-> 2y = x - 1

-> y = (x-1)/2
-> f^-1 (x) = (x-1)/2

Answer:
f^{ - 1} (x) = (x - 1) \div 2

Katy buys 4 DVDs every 2 weeks how many will she buy in 10
malfutka [58]

If she maintains her average amount of movies bought every week, then she will buy 20 DVDs in 10 weeks. Explanation: she buys 4 every week, so if we want to find out how many are in 10 weeks, we must multiply two until we get to 10 ( five weeks ) then multiply that buy her average of movies. And that is how we get the answer of 20 DVDs! ( her at least I did )

Anyways, hope this helps!

I need help on number 10 please!
hammer [34]

Answer: y = 4x/3 - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

c represents the y intercept

m = slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

The given line, L1 passes through A(6, - 7) and B(- 6, 2). The slope of line L1 is

m = (2 - - 7)/(- 6 - 6) = 9/ -12 = - 3/4

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line.

Therefore, the slope of line L2 passing through the midpoint, M is 4/3

The formula determining the midpoint of a line is expressed as

[(x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2]

Midpoint, M = [(6 + -6)/2 , (- 7 + 2)/2]

= (0, - 5/2]

This means that the y intercept of line L2 is - 5/2

The equation of L2 becomes

y = 4x/3 - 5/2
