Answer:

u = -5/9

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

-3(u + 2) = 5u - 1 + 5(2u + 1)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>u</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                             -3u - 6 = 5u - 1 + 10u + 5
  2. Combine like terms:             -3u - 6 = 15u + 4
  3. Add 3u to both sides:          -6 = 18u + 4
  4. Subtract 4 on both sides:    -10 = 18u
  5. Divide 18 on both sides:      -10/18 = u
  6. Simplify:                                -5/9 = u
  7. Rewrite:                                 u = -5/9

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in u into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>u</em>:                     -3(-5/9 + 2) = 5(-5/9) - 1 + 5(2(-5/9) + 1)
  2. Multiply:                                -3(-5/9 + 2) = -25/9 - 1 + 5(-10/9 + 1)
  3. Add:                                      -3(13/9) = -25/9 - 1 + 5(-1/9)
  4. Multiply:                                -13/3 = -25/9 - 1 - 5/9
  5. Subtract:                               -13/3 = -34/9 - 5/9
  6. Subtract:                               -13/3 = -13/3

Here we see that -13/3 does indeed equal -13/3.

∴ u = -5/9 is a solution of the equation.

Answer:

\sf u = -\dfrac{5}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the following:

\longrightarrow -3(u + 2) = 5u - 1 + 5(2u + 1)

5(2u + 1) = 10u + 5:

\longrightarrow -3(u + 2) = 5u - 1 + 10u + 5

-3(u + 2) = -3u - 6:

\longrightarrow -3u - 6= 10 u + 5 u - 1 + 5

Grouping like terms,

5u - 1 + 10u + 5 = (5u + 10u) + (-1 + 5):

\longrightarrow -3u - 6 = (5u + 10u) + (-1 + 5)

5u + 10u = 15u:

\longrightarrow -3u - 6 = 15u + (-1 + 5)

5 - 1 = 4:

\longrightarrow -3u - 6 = 15u + 4

Subtract 15 u from both sides:

\longrightarrow (-3u - 15u) - 6 = (15u - 15u) + 4

-3u - 15u = -18u:

\longrightarrow -18u - 6 = (15u - 15u) + 4

15u - 15u = 0:

\longrightarrow -18u - 6 = 4

Add 6 to both sides:

\longrightarrow (6 - 6) - 18u = 6 + 4

6 - 6 = 0:

\longrightarrow -18u = 4 + 6

4 + 6 = 10:

\longrightarrow -18u = 10

Divide both sides of -18 u = 10 by -18:

\longrightarrow \sf \dfrac{-18u}{-18}= \dfrac{10}{-18}

\sf \dfrac{-18}{-18}=1:

\longrightarrow \sf u = \dfrac{10}{-18}

\sf \dfrac{10}{-18}=\dfrac{5}{-9}:

\longrightarrow \sf u = \dfrac{5}{-9}

Multiply numerator and denominator of \sf  \dfrac{10}{-18} by -1:

\longrightarrow \sf u = \dfrac{-5}{9}

Keisha solved the following equation: 4x − 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4) Step Work Justification 1 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4) Combine like terms 2 2x
kolbaska11 [484]

4x - 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)   Given

(4x - 2x) + 8 = 6(x + 4)

2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)     Combine like terms

2x + 8 = (6)(x) + (6)(4)

2x + 8 = 6x + 24    Distributive Property

2x - 6x + 8 = 6x - 6x + 24

-4x + 8 = 24      Subtraction Property of Equality

-4x + 8 - 8 = 24 - 8

-4x = 16    Subtraction Property of Equality

-4x : (-4) = 16 : (-4)

x = -4       Division Property of Equality

What is the solution of the equation e^xe^2x = 4? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Stells [14]
The equation is:

[e^x] [e^(2x)] = 4

1) Applying property of multiplication of powers wiith same base =>

e ^ (x + 2x) = 4

=> e ^ (3x) = 4

2) Applying logarigth properties

3x = ln(4)

=> x = ln(4) / 3 ≈ 1.38629 / 3 ≈ 0.4621

Answer: x = ln(4) / 3 ≈ 0.4621
