Question

Please help!! I am literally in tears!!

Consider the function, y = - 13x +52. Find the inverse of the function by solving it for
x. Then, use the inverse to find a value of y such that x = 182.

Answer 1

y = -10

Explanation:

x = -13 y + 52

y = (x - 52)/-13

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

y = (182 - 52)/-13

y = -10

Answer 2

-10

Explanation:

Inverse equation: x= -13y +52

simplify: y=-1/-13x + 4

Plug in for x: y= 1/-13 (182) +4

= -10
