Solve for x, Show your work: 1/2 (16 - x) = -12 (x + 7)

soldi70 [24.7K]

You have to get rid of 1/2 by multiplying it by its recriprocal which is like this:
1) 1/2 x 2/1 which equals to zero and you do the same to the other side.
2) -12 x 2/1 = -24x then multiply-24x with 7 which equals -168.
16-x= -24x -168
3) subtract 16 to the other side and subtract 24x with x
23x= -184
4) divide by 23 to isolate x and you get -8
5) x=-8

Grayson ran 2 1/2 miles around the track .each lap is 5/6 of a mile .how many laps did Grayson run?

andrezito [222]

Given:

Number of miles covered = $2\dfrac{1}{2}$

Length of each lap = $\dfrac{5}{6}$ of a mile.

To find:

The number of laps.

Solution:

We know that,

$\text{Number of laps}=\dfrac{\text{Number of miles covered}}{\text{Length of each lap}}$

$\text{Number of laps}=\dfrac{2\dfrac{1}{2}}{\dfrac{5}{6}}$

$\text{Number of laps}=\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{2}}{\dfrac{5}{6}}$

$\text{Number of laps}=\dfrac{5}{2}\times \dfrac{6}{5}$

$\text{Number of laps}=3$

Therefore, Grayson ran 3 laps.

Find the particular solution of the differential equation dy + 7y = 6 satisfying the initial condition y(0) = 0. Answer: y= Your

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation $y'+7y=6$ with the initial condition $y(0)=0$ . It is not difficult to notice that this is a linear equation, which has the general expression

$y'+P(x)y=Q(x)$ .

The solution of this equation is expressed by a general formula:

$y(x) = \exp\left(-\int P(x)dx\right)\left(\int Q(x)\exp\left(-\int P(x)dx\right) +C\right)$ .

In the particular case of our equation, we have

$P(x)=7$

$Q(x)=6$ .

Then, we must calculate the integrals

$\int 7dx = 7x$ that implies

$\exp\left(-\int P(x)dx\right) = e^{-7x}$ ,

and

$\int 6e^{7x}dx = \frac{6}{7}e^{7x}$

Then,

$y(x) = e^{-7x}\left(\frac{6}{7}e^{7x} +C\right) = \frac{6}{7} + Ce^{-7x}$ .

In order to obtain the value of the constant we substitute the initial condition

$0=y(0) = \frac{6}{7} + C$ that implies $C=-\frac{6}{7}$

Therefore,

$y(x) = \frac{6}{7}-\frac{6}{7}e^{-7x}$ .
