Good evening ,

______

Answer:

Subtract 3x on both sides

___________________

Step-by-step explanation:

3x−5=7x+11 ⇔ (-3x)+3x−5=+(-3x)+7x+11 ⇔ −5=4x+11 ⇔ -16=4x ⇔ -4=x.

Answer:

<h2>Subtract 3x from both sides</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5 = 7x + 11

Firs step:

add 5 to both sides: 3x - 5 + 5 = 7x + 11 + 5 → 3x = 7x + 16

or

subtract 7x from both sides: 3x - 7x - 5 = 7x - 7x + 11 → -2x - 5 = 11

or

subtract 3x from both sides: 3x - 3x - 5 = 7x - 3x + 11 → -5 = 4x + 11

or

subtract 11 from both sides: 3x - 5 - 11 = 7x + 11 - 11 → 3x - 16 = 7x

If you want solution.

3x - 5 = 7x + 11       <em> subtract 3x from both sides</em>

3x - 3x - 5 = 7x - 3x + 11

-5 = 4x + 11         <em>subtract 11 from both sides</em>

-5 - 11 = 4x + 11 - 11

-16 = 4x            <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

-16/4 = 4x/4

-4 = x → x = -4

without calculating steven says that prisms A and B have the same volume. Explain why Steven is correct​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The shapes are the same, just one is sideways. They also have very similar measurements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even so, when we check this we get:

(1 1/2 x 1 3/4) 7 = (3 x 1 3/4) 3 1/2

when simplified (solved) this is: 18 3/8 = 18 3/8

Dy/dx = y/x^2
Lady_Fox [76]
Dy/dx = y/(x^2)
dy/y = dx/(x^2)
int[dy/y] = int[dx/(x^2)] ... apply integral to both sides
ln(|y|) = (-1/x) + C
|y| = e^{(-1/x) + C}
|y| = e^C*e^(-1/x)
|y| = C*e^(-1/x)
y = C*e^(-1/x)

So you have the correct answer. Nice job.

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

Check:
y = C*e^(-1/x)
dy/dx = d/dx[C*e^(-1/x)]
dy/dx = d/dx[-1/x]*C*e^(-1/x)
dy/dx = (1/(x^2))*C*e^(-1/x)
is the expression for the left hand side (LHS)

y/(x^2) = [C*e^(-1/x)]/(x^2)
y/(x^2) = (1/(x^2))*C*e^(-1/x)
is the expression for the right hand side (RHS)

Since LHS = RHS, this confirms the solution for dy/dx = y/(x^2)
