Answer:

The value of x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$12\left(x-2\right)+3x=\frac{1}{2}\left(x+6\right)+2$

Expand 12(x-2) = 12x - 24

Expand 1/2(x+6) = 1/2x + 3

so the equation becomes

$12x-24+3x=\frac{1}{2}x+3+2$

simplifying

$15x-24=\frac{1}{2}x+5$

$15x=\frac{1}{2}x+29$

multiplying both sides by 2

$30x = x + 58$

subtracting x from both sides

$30x - x = 58 - x$

$29x = 58$

divide both sides by 29

$\frac{29x}{29}=\frac{58}{29}$

simplifying

$x = 2$

Therefore, the value of x = 2

Integration: How would I get to this answer?

Scrat [10]

Given that $y$ attains a maximum at $x=1$ , it follows that $y'=0$ at that same point. So integrating once gives

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}\,\mathrm dx=\int-8x\,\mathrm dx$
$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=-4x^2+C_1$
$\implies -4(1)^2+C_1=0\implies C_1=4$

and so the first derivative is $y'=-4x^2+4$ .

Integrating again, you get

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\,\mathrm dx=\int(-4x^2+4)\,\mathrm dx$
$y=-\dfrac43x^3+4x+C_2$

You know that this curve passes through the point (2, -1), which means when $x=2$ , you have $y=-1$ :

$-1=-\dfrac43(2)^3+4(2)+C_2$
$\implies C_2=\dfrac53$

and so

$y=-\dfrac43x^3+4x+\dfrac53$

If the hour hand is between 9 and 10, that would be 9 still, and if the minuet hand was on 7, it would be 35 because each big number goes by 5, if that makes sense. If not, at least you got the answer
