Find the inverse first

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\sf y = \dfrac{x - 7}{3}\) Switch 'x' and 'y' \(\sf x = \dfrac{y - 7}{3}\) Now solve for 'y'

OpenStudy (igreen):

Can you do that?

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Not really sure but is this the inverse? 3y = (x-7)?

OpenStudy (igreen):

We divide 3 to both sides, not multiply, it would actually give us: \(\sf \dfrac{1}{3}x = x - 7\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Now add 7 to both sides to complete the inverse

OpenStudy (igreen):

Sorry that's \(\sf \dfrac{1}{3}x = y - 7\)

OpenStudy (lemanual):

10y =x?

OpenStudy (igreen):

No, just add 7 to both sides, you can't combine anything.

OpenStudy (lemanual):

So 7 + 3y = x?

OpenStudy (igreen):

1/3x*

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\sf 7 + \dfrac{1}{3}x = y\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Now plug in 4 for 'x' and solve

OpenStudy (lemanual):

So the correct answer would be 19?

OpenStudy (igreen):

No..how did you get that?

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Idk I got confused when you said plug in 4 for x and solve I was debating on 19 or 33 but Idk I''m not that good in math : /

OpenStudy (lemanual):

I'm

OpenStudy (igreen):

19 is correct

OpenStudy (igreen):

I made a misstake lol

OpenStudy (igreen):

mistake*

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Oh yay I was right :D what mistake did you make?

OpenStudy (igreen):

We multiply 3 to both sides, not divide..so it should've been \(\sf y = 3x + 7\), and plugging 4 in gives us 19.

OpenStudy (igreen):

I divided 3 to both sides instead of multiplied, my bad.

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Ohhh It's ok But can you check this last question to see if I got it right it's with x and y chart

Oh ok thanks, sorry I couldn't help

OpenStudy (lemanual):

It's cool bro I'm taking another quiz rn do you like math or you're not a big fan of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm better at English than math but I could try to find people who can help

OpenStudy (lemanual):

It's coolio I can do this one but I might take a English test you never know :O :P You're cool, How old are you?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya I think he got his question answered but he might need help later @jigglypuff314

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Jiggly goner V_V

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V_V R.I.P

OpenStudy (lemanual):

@iGreen @brooke2353 Do you guys know the answer to this one?| http://prntscr.com/9a9w9q

OpenStudy (lemanual):

@twister02 lol!

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

try multiplying top and bottom by xy

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Hmmm hold on

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

for the numerator you would get (xy)((1/x) + (1/y)) = (xy)(1/x) + (xy)(1/y) = y + x and same idea for the denominator (except with a negative in the middle)

OpenStudy (lemanual):

:O Interesting I think I know the answer :O

OpenStudy (brooke2353):

idk

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Is it D :O x+y/x-y?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

look at the order in the numerator that I got try again

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Awww V_V

OpenStudy (lemanual):

I keep getting x+y/x-y : /

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

\[(\frac{ 1 }{ x } - \frac{1}{y})*(\frac{xy}{1})\]

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

\[\frac{ xy }{ x } - \frac{xy}{y}\]

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Ohhhh

OpenStudy (lemanual):

So C right?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

;-;

OpenStudy (lemanual):

D:::

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Meh confused I'm not that good at mathh

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

reread every one of my previous comments

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Oh.. My.. God.. :O ;-;

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Okay.. V_V

OpenStudy (brooke2353):

I THINK I GOT IT I think<< It's A

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

good

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Yay :D

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Thanks guys again so much I passed my Algebra class now :D I'm all caught up : )

OpenStudy (lemanual):

Thanks tho for your help really ; ) *wink* *wink* :D
