Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33769/181
Discussion:
Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives
x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17) = 71 (*)
Use common factor (17*14*4 = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:
1/4 = (17*14)/ 952 = 238/952
1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952
1/17 = (14*4)/952 = 56/952
so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 = (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 = 362/952 = 181/476
Substituting in (*) gives
x ( 181/476) = 71 => multiply both sides by 476/181
x = (71 * 476)/181 => 71* 476 =33769
x = 33769/181
Thank you,

Answer:
no its rational
Step-by-step explanation:
PEMDAS states that the value in the parenthesis should be evaluated first:
4(5*6)
4(30)
After just multiply the value in the parenthesis by the number outside of the parenthesis:
120
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
4*1/7
The solution depends on the value of

. To make things simple, assume

. The homogeneous part of the equation is

and has characteristic equation

which admits the characteristic solution

.
For the solution to the nonhomogeneous equation, a reasonable guess for the particular solution might be

. Then

So you have


This means


and so the general solution would be
