855=95d
855 minutes is equal to 95 minutes times the number of days run
1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.
It looks like the differential equation is

Check for exactness:

As is, the DE is not exact, so let's try to find an integrating factor <em>µ(x, y)</em> such that

*is* exact. If this modified DE is exact, then

We have

Notice that if we let <em>µ(x, y)</em> = <em>µ(x)</em> be independent of <em>y</em>, then <em>∂µ/∂y</em> = 0 and we can solve for <em>µ</em> :

The modified DE,

is now exact:

So we look for a solution of the form <em>F(x, y)</em> = <em>C</em>. This solution is such that

Integrate both sides of the first condition with respect to <em>x</em> :

Differentiate both sides of this with respect to <em>y</em> :

Then the general solution to the DE is

Well, to find u, we have to remove all that is attached to it so the equation can just be u=...
To find u, you have to remove what is attached to it, and that is -12. Then you have to look at the relationship between the -12 and u. The relationship is multiplication, and the opposite of multiplication is division, so all you have to do is divide both sides by -12. So;
-12u/-12=-24/-12
The -12 cancels the -12, leaving u and the - in 12 cancels the - in 24. Leaving 24/12. And that is 2. Written as;
u=2
Hope i helped. If you have any more problems, let me know.
C -3/2
Just multiply the second equation by -3/2
this will make the y term = -3/4y
so adding will eliminate the y terms.
