-7x + 2x (add common factors)
-5x+6+21 (what happen to one side happens to the others
-5x=21 (divide by five)
x= -3

Combine like terms, 2x + -7x = -5x.
Now you have -5x + 6 = 21.
subtract 6 from both 6 and 21, the 6 cancels out and 21-6=15.
You’re left with -5x=15
Divide 5 on both sides, -5 cancels out, and you’re left with
x=-3
sorry this was messy and i hope this made sense!

Solve the separable differential equation dtdx=x2+164 and find the particular solution satisfying the initial condition x(0)=9

maria [59]

$\dfrac{dt}{dx} = x^2 + \frac{1}{64} \Rightarrow\ dt = \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ \\ \displaystyle \int 1 dt = \int \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x}{64} + C$

C = 9 because all the x terms go away.

$t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \dfrac{x}{64} + 9$

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Michael bought 18 tacos and 9 burritos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at a particular fast food restaurant, tacos cost $ 1.29 and burritos cost $ 2.19, and Michael spent a total of $ 42.93 at the restaurant to buy food for a party, if he purchased half as many burritos as tacos, to determine how many tacos did he buy, the following calculation must be performed:

1.29 x 20 + 2.19 x 10 = 47.7

1.29 x 16 + 2.19 x 8 = 38.16

1.29 x 18 + 2.19 x 9 = 42.93

So Michael bought 18 tacos and 9 burritos.
