Answer:

The value of x is $\frac{7}{4}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the inverse variation equation is

$xy=k$ ..... (1)

The value of y is 4 and the value of k is 7.

Substitute y=4 and k=7 in equation (1).

$x\times 4=7$

Divide both sides by 4.

$\frac{x\times 4}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$

$x=\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore the value of x is $\frac{7}{4}$ .

It would be 7/4 or 1.75 if needed to be in decimal format.

$\sqrt{4t+5}=3-\sqrt{t+5}\\\\D:4t+5\geq0\ \wedge\ t+5\geq0\ \wedge\ \sqrt{t+5}\leq3\\\\t\geq-\dfrac{5}{4}\ \wedge\ t\geq-5\ \wedge\ t\leq6$

therefore
$D:x\in\left< -\dfrac{5}{4};\ 6\right>$

$\sqrt{4t+5}=3-\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ |^2\\\\(\sqrt{4t+5})^2=(3-\sqrt{t+5})^2\ \ \ |use:(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\4t+5=3^2-2\cdot3\cdot\sqrt{t+5}+(\sqrt{t+5})^2\\\\4t+5=9-6\sqrt{t+5}+t+5\ \ \ \ |-t\\\\3t+5=14-6\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ \ |-14\\\\3t-9=-6\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ \ |change\ signs$
$9-3t=6\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ \ |:3\\\\3-t=2\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ \ |^2\\\\(3-t)^2=(2\sqrt{t+5})^2\\\\3^2-2\cdot3\cdot t+t^2=4(t+5)\\\\9-6t+t^2=4t+20\ \ \ |-4t-20\\\\t^2-10t-11=0\\\\t^2+t-11t-11=0\\\\t(t+1)-11(t+1)=0\\\\(t+1)(t-11)=0\iff t+1=0\ \vee\ t-11=0\\\\t=-1\in D\ \vee\ t=11\notin D$
Answer: t = -1.
