Hi, im in grade 11, I have a quick question, i'm reviewing for a test and one of the questions is
(This is functions btw)
get the inverse of y=2|x|-5
the answer says it's x=2|y|-5
but why isn't it, x/2+5=|y|
because aren't you supposed to isolate y?
They're both the same answer, except the 5 has to be 5/2. Rated box.

(x+5)/2

Fuck I just woke up, took me 3 edits to fix a spelling error.

sorry, dumbkid here, rate me boxes, but why is it 5/2?
Order of operations states that you must subtract/add before you divide/multiply before simplifying a side ( to keep it simple).
x=2|y|-5
x+5=2|y|
(x+5)/2=|y|
so for simplifying eqn's bedmas is backwards? SAMDEB :P
Lurk more.
why dount you shut up and study instead of browsing on facepunch, dumbass
