So,

Let Consuelo's spendings be c and Brenda's spendings be b.

We have our first equation: c = 2b - 3

And our second equation: c = 81

Substitute 81 for c
81 = 2b - 3

Add 3 to both sides
84 = 2b

Divide both sides by 2
42 = b

Brenda spent $42.

You turn 1/3 into 2/6. Because you need the bottom number to match. 3x2=6 then you do the same to the top. 1x2=2. So your answer would be 4/6 but reduced it would be 2/3

Help with this integral<br><br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cint%5Climits%20%5Cfrac%7Bdx%7D%7Bx%5E%7B2%7D-4x-13%7D" id

$x^2-4x-13=(x-2)^2-17$

$x-2=\sqrt{17}\sec y$
$\mathrm dx=\sqrt{17}\sec y\tan y\,\mathrm dy$

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2-4x-13}=\int\frac{\sqrt{17}\sec y\tan y}{(\sqrt{17}\sec y)^2-17}\,\mathrm dy$
$=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt{17}}\int\frac{\sec y\tan y}{\sec^2y-1}\,\mathrm dy$
$=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt{17}}\int\frac{\sec y\tan y}{\tan^2y}\,\mathrm dy$
$=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt{17}}\int\frac{\sec y}{\tan y}\,\mathrm dy$
$=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt{17}}\int\frac{\frac1{\cos y}}{\frac{\sin y}{\cos y}}\,\mathrm dy$
$=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt{17}}\int\csc y\,\mathrm dy$
$=-\dfrac1{\sqrt{17}}\ln|\csc y+\cot y|+C$

$\sec y=\dfrac{x-2}{\sqrt{17}}\iff y=\sec^{-1}\dfrac{x-2}{\sqrt{17}}$
$\implies\csc y=\dfrac{x-2}{\sqrt{(x-2)^2-17}}=\dfrac{x-2}{\sqrt{x^2-4x-13}}$
$\implies\cot y=\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{(x-2)^2-17}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{x^2-4x-13}}$

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2-4x-13}=-\dfrac1{\sqrt{17}}\ln\left|\frac{x-2+\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{x^2-4x-13}}\right|+C$
