Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 x - 1 = 4 x + 5

Subtract 4 x from both sides:

(2 x - 4 x) - 1 = (4 x - 4 x) + 5

2 x - 4 x = -2 x:

-2 x - 1 = (4 x - 4 x) + 5

4 x - 4 x = 0:

-2 x - 1 = 5

Add 1 to both sides:

(1 - 1) - 2 x = 1 + 5

1 - 1 = 0:

-2 x = 5 + 1

5 + 1 = 6:

-2 x = 6

Divide both sides of -2 x = 6 by -2:

(-2 x)/(-2) = 6/(-2)

(-2)/(-2) = 1:

x = 6/(-2)

The gcd of 6 and -2 is 2, so 6/(-2) = (2×3)/(2 (-1)) = 2/2×3/(-1) = 3/(-1):

x = 3/(-1)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 3/(-1) by -1:

Answer: x = -3

$\displaystyle=\int_{y=0}^{y=2\pi}\int_{x=0}^{x=y}\sin(2x+y)-\sin(x+y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$
$\displaystyle=\int_{y=0}^{y=2\pi}-\frac12\left(\cos(2x+y)-2\cos(x+y)\right)\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=y}\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$
$\displaystyle=\int_{y=0}^{y=2\pi}-\frac12\left((\cos3y-2\cos2y)-(\cos y-2\cos y)\right)\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=y}\,\mathrm dy$
$\displaystyle=-\frac12\int_{y=0}^{y=2\pi}(\cos3y-2\cos2y+\cos y)\,\mathrm dy$
$\displaystyle=-\frac12\left(\frac13\sin3y-\sin2y+\sin y\right)\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=2\pi}$
$=0$
