It depends on what you mean by the delimiting carats "^"...
Since you use parentheses appropriately in the answer choices, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume something like "^x^" stands for

.
In that case, you want to find the antiderivative,

Complete the square in the denominator:

Now substitute

, so that

. Then

which simplifies to

Now, recall that

. But we want the substitution we made to be reversible, so that

which implies that

. (This is the range of the inverse sine function.)
Under these conditions, we have

, which lets us reduce

. Finally,

and back-substituting to get this in terms of

yields
Answer: Eric: The 10 is the initial amount, the 1/2 is the decay factor or the rate at which it decreases, and the exponent w is the number of weeks it decreases by factor 1/2, or the time. Andrea, 1 is the initial amount, 0.2 is the decay factor or rate of decrease, w is time passed or number of weeks it's decayed by the factor.

Assuming you typed this correctly, and how you wanted it, then the answer(s) would be x=3, or x=8. Both answers are correct. If it were multiple choice, then the answer would look something like: X=3 or 8.
If you meant 2x, then the answer would be x=8/3. This is a fraction
Answer:
infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
-9(x+3) +12 = -3(2x+5)-3x
Distribute
-9x-27 +12 = -6x-15-3x
Combine like terms
-9x -15 = -9x-15
Add 9x to each side
-9x-15+9x = -9x-15+9x
-15 = -15
This is a true statement so it is true for all x
