One thing you could try is to set

. This makes

, so that

, and

. So the integral is

A "trickier" way to do it is to write

so you could decompose the integrand into partial fractions. But that's more work than needed.
Answer:
X = -12.54 (I am a Math Class Topper in both 6th Grade an 7th Grade)
Step-by-step explanation:
5 x .27 = 1.35
8x - (3 x .27) = .81
1.35 + 8x - .81 = 7x - 12
- 7x - 7x
----------------------------------
1.35 + X - .81 = -12
+ .81 +.81
---------------------------
1.35 + X = -11.19
-1.35 -1.35
-----------------------
X = -12.54
9. Let p = Pico
3/4p = 18
10. Let h = height with pedestal and foundation
151 + h = 305
11. Let m = Meredith
19 = 3 + 2m
12. Let p = number of pizzas, $5 off is - 5 from regular price
3p - 5 = 21.75
13. Option C.
14. Option A.
15. Let w = last week's miles
w =

(12) + 3
The word "half" tells you to use 1/2 in the equation. The phrase "three more than" tells you to use + 3. We multiply 1/2 by 12 (or divide 12 by 2; it's the same thing) because we are taking half of the miles Carmen ran "this week" as stated in the problem.
Assume the mattress have no width, only length.
By Pythagoras' Theorem, √(72^2 + 80^2) = 107.6 inches.
