Chapter 4.2, Problem 45E
Shoe Sizes A woman’s shoe that is size x in Japan is size s(x) in the United States, where s(x) = x – 17. A woman’s shoe that is size x in the United States is size p(x) in Britain, where p(x) = x – 1.5. Find a function that will convert Japanese shoe size to British shoe size.
