Follow this example. f(x) = (x+3)/5 To find its inverse, write y=f(x) y= (x+3)/5 Interchange x and y x = (y+3)/5 solve for y in terms of x 5x=y+3 y=5x-3 The inverse of f(x) is f^-1(x) = 5x-3
3/5x + 22 = 28 To solve this: Subtract 22 from both sides: 3/5x = 6 Multiply by 5x: 3 = 6*5x Divide by 6: 3/6 = 5x Divide by 5: (3/6)/5 = x Work it out: 3/6 = 0.5 0.5/5 = 0.1 x = 0.1
5x - 3 + x - 9 = 5x Bring like terms together of the left side: 5x + x - 3 - 9 = 5x Combine like terms: 6x - 12 = 5x Add 12 to both sides: 6x = 5x + 12 Subtract 5x from both sides: x = 12
(3)(2)(2)5x=60 12(5x)=60 12(5x)/12=60/12 5x=5 x=1
If you mean: 3+5x+7 = 70 then the value of x is 12
5x + 3 = -12 5x =-12-3 =-15 x = -3

(1) 5x+y=-12 (2) 7x-3y=-30 From (1) one gets y = -12-5x Put into (2) 7x-3y = 7x -3 (-12-5x) = 7x + 36 +15 x = 22x +36=-30 22x = -30-36 = -66 so x = -3 and y=-12-5x = -12-5x-3= 3 The solution is (-3,3)
5x+7 = 2x-3 5x-2x = -3-7 3x = -10 x = -10/3
It is a linear equation in the variable x. You can solve for x using algebra: -5x + 3 = -22 -5x = -25 -x = -5 x = 5
Assuming the sign of 3 is a minus: Add 3 to each side: 5x = 15 Divide each side by 5: x = 3 QED
