As points, x-intercepts take the form (x,0), so to find the intercepts we can set y=0 and solve for x.

x\ln(x+e)=0\implies\begin{cases}x=0\\\ln(x+e)=0\end{cases}

From the first equation alone, we already know that x=0 is a solution, which means one intercept is (0,0).

The second equation gives

\ln(x+e)=0\implies e^{\ln(x+e)}=e^0\implies x+e=1\implies x=1-e

so that the second intercept occurs at (1-e,0).

So if a=0 and b=1-e, we have a+b=1-e, giving C as the answer.

How do you solve for x in a math question like this 5+4x=54-3x?
Bas_tet [7]

To solve for x, first you need to isolate all x terms on the same side so:

you start with 5 + 4x = 54 - 3x

subtract 5 from both sides to get 5 onto the left side

now you should have 4x = 49 - 3x

now add 3x to both sides to get 3x onto the right side

now you should have 7x = 49

now that you have your x on one side you can solve this like a regular one step equation and divide both sides by 7

this leads you to your answer of x = 7

hope this helps!
