Answer:
f-1(x)=-
x-
Step-by-step explanation:
First, switch f(x) to the variable "y".
y=-
x-8
Next, swap "x" and "y" with each other.
x=-
y-8
Next, lets move the denominator of 2 to the other side by multiplying both sides by 2. Your result will be...
2x=-3y-16
Now move -16 to the left side.
16+2x=-3y
To get "y" by itself, lets divide each side by -3. Our result is...
y=-
x-
To finish the problem off, replace y with f-1(x) and your complete answer will be...
f-1(x)=-
x-
The answer of going to be 2450
He could have wrote -2.5 or -3.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying parallel line postulate twice
36degree=3x degree +2y degree
126 degrees=12 x degree + 2y degree
So, the two equations are:
3x + 2y = 36
and
12x + 2y = 126
Eliminate x to solve for y
-(3x + 2y)= -(36)
-3x - 2y = -36
Combine the equations
(-3x - 2y)+ (12x + 2y) = (-36) + (126)
-3x -2y + 12x + 2y = -36 + 126
9x = 90
x = 10
Plug value of x back into to the equations to solve for y
3(10) + 2y = 36
30 + 2y = 36
2y =6
y = 3
Optional
Plug x into the other equation to check for error
12(10) +2y = 126
120 + 2y =126
2y = 6
y = 3
