1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 12

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

-2(x - 4) = -16

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute -2:                    -2x + 8 = -16
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                  -2x = -24
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                           x = 12

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    -2(12 - 4) = -16
  2. Subtract:                       -2(8) = -16
  3. Multiply:                        -16 = -16

Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.

∴ x = 12 is a solution of the equation.

Find the slope of the graph of the relation y^3 − xy = −6 at the point (7, 2).

Yay, implicit differnentiation

when you take the derivitive of y, you multiply it by dy/dx
example
dy/dx y^2=2y dy/dx

for x, the dy/dx dissapears

ok
so differnetiate and solve for dy/dx

3y² dy/dx-(y+x dy/dx)=0
expand
3y² dy/dx-y-x dy/dx=0
3y² dy/dx-x dy/dx=y
dy/dx (3y²-x)=y
dy/dx=y/(3y²-x)

so at (7,2)
x=7 and y=2
dy/dx=2/(3(2)²-7)
dy/dx=2/(3(4)-7)
dy/dx=2/(12-7)
dy/dx=2/5

answer is 2/5
