We are asked in the problem to determine the inverse of the relation y = 3x + 12. first step is to express the equation in terms of y, that is y -12 = 3x, then exchange the places of x and y, that is x - 12 = 3y. This is the final answer
Answer:
Sam initially made 45 bread rolls
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total number of bread rolls made by Sam. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor. This means he gave 2/5 × x =
2x/5 bread rolls to his neighbor.
The remainder would be x - 2x/5 =3x/5
He gave 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin = 4/9 ×3x/5=12x/45
=4x/15
He has 15 bread rolls left
Total number of bread rolls = what he has left + what he gave his cousin + what he gave his neighbor
x = 15 + 4x/15 + 2x/5
Taking LCM of 15 and cross multiplying
15x= 225+4x + 6x
15x = 225 +10x
15x-10x = 225
5x = 225
x = 225/5 =45
Sam initially made 45 bread rolls
