Start by writing -3x-5=16. You can add 5 to both sides since the inverse operation of negative is adding positive. You will then get 16+5=21. Then you will get -3x=21. Divide by -3 on both sides. -3x/-3. 21/-3=-7 x=-7. Now check your answer -3(-7)=21-5=16. Checks out. Hopefully this helps!

Integration Constant C

U-Substitution

Integration Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \int {cf(x)} \, dx = c \int {f(x)} \, dx$

Trig Integration: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{du}{a^2 + u^2}} = \frac{1}{a}arctan(\frac{u}{a}) + C$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{9x^2 + 4}} \, dx$

Step 2: Integrate Pt. 1

[Integral] Factor fraction denominator: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{9(x^2 + \frac{4}{9})}} \, dx$
[Integral] Integration Property - Multiplied Constant: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{9} \int {\frac{1}{x^2 + \frac{4}{9}}} \, dx$

Step 3: Identify Variables

Set up u-substitution for the arctan trig integration.

$\displaystyle u = x \\ a = \frac{2}{3} \\ du = dx$

Step 4: Integrate Pt. 2

[Integral] Substitute u-du: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{9} \int {\frac{1}{u^2 + (\frac{2}{3})^2} \, du$
[Integral] Trig Integration: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{9}[\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}}arctan(\frac{u}{\frac{2}{3}})] + C$
[Integral] Simplify: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{9}[\frac{3}{2}arctan(\frac{3u}{2})] + C$
[integral] Multiply: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}arctan(\frac{3u}{2}) + C$
[Integral] Back-Substitute: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}arctan(\frac{3x}{2}) + C$
