Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4(1-2x)-1=7x\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(-4)(1)+(-4)(-2x)-1=7x\\\\-4+8x-1=7x\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\8x+(-4-1)=7x\\\\8x-5=7x\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\8x-5+5=7x+5\\\\8x=7x+5\qquad\text{subtract}\ 7x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\8x-7x=7x-7x+5\\\\x=5$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

((0 - 4 • (1 - 2x)) - 1) - 7x = 0

Step 2 :

Equation at the end of step 2 :

x - 5 = 0

Step 3 :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.1 Solve : x-5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides of the equation :

x = 5

One solution was found :

x = 5

Flying against the wind, a jet travels 2190 miles in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, the same jet travels 9520 miles in 8 hours.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is 210 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jet's velocity against wind is

3040/4 = 760 miles per hour and flying with wind it is

8260/7 = 1180 miles per hour.

Let the velocity of jet in still air be x miles per hour and velocity of wind be y miles per hour.

As such its velocity against wind is x − y and with wind is x + y and therefore

x − y = 760 and x + y = 1180

Adding the two 2 x = 1940 and x = 970 and y = 1180 − 970 = 210

Hence velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is

210 miles per hour.

2 points) Suppose w=xy+yzw=xy+yz, where x=et, y=2+sin(t)x=et, y=2+sin⁡(t), and z=2+cos(3t)z=2+cos⁡(3t). A ) Use the chain rule t

Olenka [21]

Answer:

$\frac{\partial w}{\partial t} = y(e^t) +(x+z)*(cos(t)) - 3y*sin(3t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note that

$\frac{\partial x}{\partial t} = e^{t} \\\frac{\partial y}{\partial t} = cos(t)\\$

And using the chain rule in one variable

$\frac{\partial z}{\partial t} = -3sin(3t)$

Now remember that the chain rule in several variables sates that

$\frac{\partial w}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} * \frac{\partial x}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial w}{\partial y} * \frac{\partial y}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial w}{\partial z} * \frac{\partial z}{\partial t}$
