Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the second equation to substitute for y in the first equation will eliminate the y-variable and give you an equation for the x-coordinate.

y = 8 -6x . . . . second equation solved for y

7x -3(8 -6x) = 1 . . . . substituted into the first equation

7x -24 +18x = 1 . . . . eliminate parentheses

25x = 25 . . . . . . . . add 24

x = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The x-coordinate of the point of intersection is 1.

Additional comment

The y-coordinate can be found using our equation for y:

y = 8 -6(1)

y = 2

Which function has an inverse that is also a function?

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

g(x) = 2x – 3 is the function has an inverse that is also a function.

The correct option is A.

Inverse function;

The inverse of a function is the equation where x and y have switched places.

Here g(x) = 2x - 3 has inverse x = 2y - 3 which simplifies to;

$y = \frac{x-3}{2}$

$y = \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{2}$

k(x) = - $9x^{2}$ has the inverse x = $-9y^{2}$ which simplifies to;

$y =\sqrt{ \frac{x}{-9} }$

f(x) = |x+2| is an absolute value function.

w(x) = -20 does not have an inverse which is a function.

Therefore

The function has an inverse that is also a function is g(x) = 2x – 3.
