the number is - 1

let the number be n then 6 times the number is 6n and added to -4 is

- 4 + 6n = 10n ( equal to 10 times the number )

subtract 6n from both sides

- 4 = 4n ( divide both sides by 4 )

$\frac{-4}{4}$ = n , hence n = - 1

Solve for x. 4 | x - 7 | + 2 | x - 7 | = 12

miv72 [106K]

Answer: x = 9, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

4 | x - 7 | + 2 | x - 7 | = 12

6 | x - 7 | = 12 added like terms

| x - 7 | = 2 divided both sides by 6

x - 7 = 2 or x - 7 = -2 removed absolute value sign

x = 9 or x = 5 added 7 to both sides of both equations

How do you do question b?

notsponge [240]

Part (b)

We use the result of part (a) and plug in (x,y) = (0,0). This is directly from the initial condition y(0) = 0.

$\arcsin(4y) = x^2 + C\\\\\arcsin(4*0) = (0)^2 + C\\\\\arcsin(0) = C\\\\0 = C\\\\C = 0\\\\$

-----------------

This means,

$\arcsin(4y) = x^2 + C\\\\\arcsin(4y) = x^2 + 0\\\\\arcsin(4y) = x^2\\\\4y = \sin(x^2)\\\\y = \frac{1}{4}\sin(x^2)\\\\$

is the solution with the initial condition y(0) = 0.
