Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we just have to the multiplication and do the simplification (adding up the similar terms) afterwards:

3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3 becomes...

3x + 3 = 7x - 14 - 3

3x + 3 = 7x -17

Then we move all x's on one side and all plain numbers on the other side, we'll move the x's to the right since there's a bigger value there, and will move the plain numbers on the left side, by subtracting 3x and by adding 17 on both sides

3x + 3 - 3x + 17 = 7x -17 + 17 - 3x

20 = 4x

If we isolate x alone we have:

20/4 = x or x = 5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(3)(x)+(3)(1)=(7)(x)+(7)(-2)-3\\\\3x+3=7x-14-3\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\3x+3=7x+(-14-3)\\\\3x+3=7x-17\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\3x+3-3=7x-17-3\\\\3x=7x-20\qquad\text{subtract 7x from both sides}\\\\3x-7x=7x-7x-20\\\\-4x=-20\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-20}{-4}\\\\x=5$

Find the indefinite integrals, if possible, using the formulas and techniques you have studied so far in the text.(a) 11 x4 dxTh

hoa [83]

Answer:

a) This integral can be evaluated using the basic integration rules. $\int 11x^{4}dx = \frac{11}{5} x^{5}+C$

b) This integral can be evaluated using the basic integration rules. $\int 8x^{1}x^{4}dx=\frac{4}{3}x^{6}+C$

c) This integral can be evaluated using the basic integration rules. $\int 3x^{31}x^{4}dx=\frac{x^{36}}{12}+C$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $\int 11x^{4}dx$

In order to solve this problem, we can directly make use of the power rule of integration, which looks like this:

$\int kx^{n}=k\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C$

so in this case we would get:

$\int 11x^{4}dx=11 \frac{x^{4+1}}{4+1}+C$

$\int 11x^{4}dx=11 \frac{x^{5}}{5}+C$

b) $\int 8x^{1}x^{4}dx$

In order to solve this problem we just need to use some algebra to simplify it. By using power rules, we get that:

$\int 8x^{1}x^{4}dx=\int 8x^{1+4}dx=\int 8x^{5}dx$

So we can now use the power rule of integration:

$\int 8x^{5}dx=\frac{8}{5+1}x^{5+1}+C$

$\int 8x^{5}dx=\frac{8}{6}x^{6}+C$

$\int 8x^{5}dx=\frac{4}{3}x^{6}+C$

c) The same applies to this problem:

$\int 3x^{31}x^{4}dx=\int 3x^{31+4}dx=\int 3x^{35}dx$

and now we can use the power rule of integration:

$\int 3x^{35}dx=\frac{3x^{35+1}}{35+1}+C$

$\int 3x^{35}dx=\frac{3x^{36}}{36}+C$

$\int 3x^{35}dx=\frac{x^{36}}{12}+C$

Grayson charges $35 per hour plus a $35 administration fee for tax preparation. Ian charges $45 per hour plus a $15 administrati

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

h less-than 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h ---> the number of hours

y ---> the total charge in dollars

we know that

The linear equation is slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mh+b$

where

m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value of the linear equation

we have

<em>Grayson</em>

The slope is equal to $m=\$35\ per\ hour$

The y-intercept is $b=\$35$

The total charge is equal to

$y=35h+35$ ----> equation A

<em>Ian</em>

The slope is equal to $m=\$45\ per\ hour$

The y-intercept is $b=\$15$

The total charge is equal to

$y=45h+15$ ----> equation B

For what number of hours does Grayson charge more than Ian?

The inequality that represent this situation is

$35h+35 > 45h+15$

solve for x

Group terms

$35-15 > 45h-35h$

$20 > 10h$

Divide by 10 both sides

$2 > h$

Rewrite the expression

$h< 2\ hours$ ----> h less than 2 hours
