12+11x=17x11x+12=17x
(both sides of the equation)
11x+12−17x=17x−17x
(Subtract 17x from both sides)
−6x+12=0−6x+12−12=0−12
(Subtract 12 from both sides)
−6x=−12−6x−6=−12−6
(Divide both sides by -6)
x=2

x=2
(Works in original equation)
The amount of work done by Kalon in an hour is equal to 1/4. This is based on his time to finish the job. Letting x be the number of hours Marna can finish the job alone will let her finish 1/x of the job in an hour. If their rates are added together and multiplied by the number of hours they worked together, the product should be one whole job.
(1/4 + 1/x)(1 5/7) = 1
The value of x is 3. Therefore, it will take 3 hours for Marna to clean the chimney alone.
(a) converges; consider the function <em>f(x)</em> = <em>a</em> ˣ, which converges to 0 as <em>x</em> gets large for |<em>a</em> | < 1. Then the limit is 2.
(b) converges; we have
4ⁿ / (1 + 9ⁿ) = (4ⁿ/9ⁿ) / (1/9ⁿ + 9ⁿ/9ⁿ) = (4/9)ⁿ × 1/(1/9ⁿ + 1)
As <em>n</em> gets large, the exponential terms vanish; both (4/9)ⁿ → 0 and 1/9ⁿ → 0, so the limit is 1.
(c) converges; we know ln(<em>n</em> ) → ∞ and arctan(<em>n</em> ) → <em>π</em>/2 as <em>n</em> → ∞. So the limit is <em>π</em>/2.
The one on the far left...hope I helped
