Answer:

y=9 and x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

ok looking at what they give us in the question we can see that we have two equations. to solve for it be will need to combine them together

note that because they use the word sum we know it's addition

y= x-6

x+y=24

now that we have these we can substitute y=x-6 for the y in our addition equaution such that we have it in terms of one variable:

x+ (x-6) = 24

2x-6=24

2x=30

x=15

now going back we can find Y

15+ y = 24

y=9

Ax + b &gt; ax + c?<br> What is the solution
frutty [35]

Answer:In general, any equation of the form ax + b = c, with a not equal to zero, can be solved in two steps. First add the opposite of b to both sides. Then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of a. x - 53 = 7.

Which is the inverse fuction of f(x)=4x
solniwko [45]

f(x)=4x


To find the inverse, first change f(x) to y:

y = 4x

Now switch the variables:

x = 4y

Solve for Y:

Divide both sides by 4:

y = x/4


Now replace y with the inverse function f^-1(x):


f^-1(x) = x/4
