3x + 8 = -22
-8 -8
3x = -30

x = -30/3 = -10

Correct choice is 1).

Let the number = X

3 times the number = 3x

So we have 3x +8 = -22

Subtract 8 from each side:
3x = -30

Divide both sides by 3:
x=-30/3
X = -10

The answer is 1.) -10

Answer:

1. B

2. C

3. A

4. D

Step-by-step explanation:

The parametric equations of the circular cylinder are:

$x(u,v)=a\cos v\\y(u,v)=a\sin v\\z(u,v)=u$

If the orientation of the cylinder is changed to have the height $u$ along the x-axis, the parametric equations of the cylinder match:

$3. \mathbf{r} \left( u, v \right) = u \mathbf{i} + \cos v \mathbf{j} + \sin v \mathbf{k}$

The parametric equations of the circular paraboloid are:

$x(u,v)=u\cos v\\y(u,v)=u\sin v\\z(u,v)=u^2$

Using the units vectors the parametric equations match:

$1. \mathbf{r} \left( u, v \right) = u \cos v \mathbf{i} + u \sin v \mathbf{j} + u^{2} \mathbf{k}$

The parametric equations of the cone are:

$x(u,v)=au\cos v\\y(u,v)=au\sin v\\z(u,v)=u$

Using the units vectors and rotating the base of the cone from $z=0$ to $x=0$ the parametric equations match:

$2. \mathbf{r} \left( u, v \right) = u \mathbf{i} + u \cos v \mathbf{j} + u \sin v \mathbf{k}$

The equation left is the equation of a plane:

$4. \mathbf{r} \left( u, v \right) = u \mathbf{i} + v \mathbf{j} + \left( 2u - 3v \right) \mathbf{k}$

$\frac{x-5}{ x^{3} +27} + \frac{2}{ x^{2} -9} = \frac{x-5}{ x^{3}+27 } + \frac{2}{(x+3)(x-3)} \\ \\ long-division.. \\ (x^{3} +27)/(x+3) = x^{2} -3x+9 \\ \\ \frac{x-5}{(x+3)( x^{2} -3x+9)} + \frac{2}{(x+3)(x-3)} \\ \\ \frac{x-5}{(x+3)( x^{2} -3x+9)}* \frac{x-3}{x-3} + \frac{2}{(x+3)(x-3)} * \frac{x^{2} -3x+9}{ x^{2} -3x+9} = \frac{(x-5)(x-3)+2( x^{2} -3x+9)}{(x+3)(x-3)( x^{2} -3x+9)}$

$\frac{(x-5)(x-3)+2( x^{2} -3x+9)}{(x+3)(x-3)( x^{2} -3x+9)} = \frac{ x^{2} -8x+15+2x^{2} -6x+18}{(x+3)(x-3)( x^{2} -3x+9)} \\ \\ \frac{ 3x^{2} -14x+33}{(x+3)(x-3)( x^{2} -3x+9)}$
