6x + 13 = 37

6x = 37 - 13

6x = 24

x = 24/6

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 13 = 37

(given)

6x + 13 = 37

- 13 - 13

(subtraction property of equality; cancel out the constant term of the left side by subtracting 13 from both sides so 6x is by itself)

6x = 24

÷6 ÷6

(division property of equality; divide both sides by 6 to cancel out the coefficient in 6x in order to solve for x)

x = 4

(this is the solution to the equation)

______________________________

Proof:

Substitute this answer back into the equation in order to verify that the solution forms a true equation.

x = 4 → 6(x) + 13 = 37 → 6(4) + 13 = 37 → 24 + 13 = 37 → <em>37 = 37</em>

Solve and check:8a-4=25+6(a-8)

OlgaM077 [116]

8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)

(distribute the 6)

8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48

(combine like terms 25 - 48)

8a - 4 = 6a - 23

( subtract 6a from both sides)

2a - 4 = -23

(add 4 to both sides)

2a = -19

(divide both sides by 2)

a = - 9.5

////CHECK/////

8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)

(plug each side into a calculator)

-80 = -80

FINAL ANSWER:

a = -9.5

1) Use power series to find the series solution to the differential equation y'+2y = 0 PLEASE SHOW ALL YOUR WORK, OR RISK LOSING

iogann1982 [59]

$y=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n$

then

$y'=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_nx^{n-1}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)a_{n+1}x^n$

The ODE in terms of these series is

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)a_{n+1}x^n+2\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n=0$

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\bigg(a_{n+1}+2a_n\bigg)x^n=0$

$\implies\begin{cases}a_0=y(0)\\(n+1)a_{n+1}=-2a_n&\text{for }n\ge0\end{cases}$

We can solve the recurrence exactly by substitution:

$a_{n+1}=-\dfrac2{n+1}a_n=\dfrac{2^2}{(n+1)n}a_{n-1}=-\dfrac{2^3}{(n+1)n(n-1)}a_{n-2}=\cdots=\dfrac{(-2)^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}a_0$

$\implies a_n=\dfrac{(-2)^n}{n!}a_0$

So the ODE has solution

$y(x)=\displaystyle a_0\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-2x)^n}{n!}$

which you may recognize as the power series of the exponential function. Then

$\boxed{y(x)=a_0e^{-2x}}$

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula 3x^2 =2(2x+1)

Nadusha1986 [10]

Step 1: Make equation equal to Zero

3x^2 = 4x + 2

3x^2 - 4x - 2

Step 2: use equation

a= 3 b = -4 c= -2

after plugging in answer should be

(2 + or - sqrt 10) / 3
