Can someone help me solve this equation -5(3x-4)+4=114

Using distributive property you would do what it is in the parentheses first. So -5(3x-4) would be -15x+20. It would be a positive 20 because you multiplied a negative with another negative. Youre equation now would be -15x+20+4=114.
Using like terms you would simplify 20 and 4 to get -15x+24=114. To get variable x alone you would subtract 24 to both sides of the equal sign to get -15x=90. Now you would just divide -15 to both sides to get x alone. So you would now get x=(-)18.2

-15x divided by 90 is 6, not 18.2. So your answer is -6

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a weather researcher compared Dublin, Ireland to Madrid, Spain, and she found that Dublin had a mean average temperature of 56.1ºF with a mean average deviation of 6.4ºF, while Madrid had a mean average temperature of 68ºF with a mean average deviation of 12.1ºF, the following conclusions can be drawn:

68 is higher than 56.1, so clearly Madrid has a higher average temperature than Dublin.

In turn, 12.1 is greater than 6.4, with which Madrid has a greater temperature variation than Dublin.

Use partial fraction expansion to evaluate: LaTeX: \int\frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}dx ∫ x − 1 x 2 + 3 x + 2 d x a. LaTeX: -2\ln\left|x+1

ohaa [14]

$\frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}\\\frac{x-1}{(x+1)(x+2)}\\\frac{x-1}{(x+1)(x+2)}=\frac{A}{x+2}+\frac{B}{x+1}\\x-1=A(x+1)+B(x+2)\\\\\text{ Let } x=-1 \text{ then } -2=A(0)+B(-1+2) \text{ which means } B=-2\\\\\text{ Instead of choose } x \text{ to be -1, let's now set it equal to -2 to find } A\\\\-3=A(-1)+B(-2+2)\\-3=-A\\A=3\\\\ \text{ So your integral becomes } \\\int \frac{3}{x+2} dx+\int \frac{-2}{x+1} dx\\3 \ln|x+2|-2\ln|x+1|+C\\\\or\\-2\ln|x+1|+3\ln|x+2|+C$
