Answer:

The answer would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be found by subtracting 12 from both sides and then the x will be alone on one side and be set equal to 3 on the other side.

12+x=15

15-12=3

12+3=15

x=3

Start by y-k=m(x-h)
m= 3
k=2
h=1
so y-2=3(x-1)
distribute
y=3x-3+2
final answer: y=3x-1

Solve for x. (e^x-e^-x)/((e^x+e^-x)=t

Sergio [31]

$\dfrac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}=t\\\\
\dfrac{e^{2x}-1}{e^{2x}+1}=t\\\\
e^{2x}-1=t(e^{2x}+1)\\\\
e^{2x}-1=e^{2x}t+t\\\\
e^{2x}-e^{2x}t=t+1\\\\
e^{2x}(1-t)=t+1\\\\
e^{2x}=\dfrac{t+1}{1-t}\\\\
e^{2x}=-\dfrac{t+1}{t-1}\\\\
2x=\ln\left(-\dfrac{t+1}{t-1}\right)\\\\
x=\dfrac{\ln\left(-\dfrac{t+1}{t-1}\right)}{2}\qquad t\in(-1,1)
