you’re stuck?
yes
Combine the next logs
Also might help to simplify the 9^(7/3). That's 3^(14/3) = 3^4 * 3^(2/3) = 81 cbrt(9)

We can rewrite this equation as
10x+y=120
60x+y=220
Is that the right way of thinking about it? or would it be easier a different way?
after this my thought was just subtracting both equation so you get
50x=100
x=2
If someone could confirm this is correct, and whether or not there is an easier way to think about this i would highly appreciate it
@fallen fulcrum Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
That is the right way to solve it, but that's not quite what the question is looking for.
You found that the price of each unit (x) is 2, but you also need to find the fixed price (y) and form the final equation.
To do that just plug it in one of the previous equations, such as 10x + y = 120
substitute x = 2
10×2 + y = 120
20 + y = 120
y = 100
So x = 2 and y = 100
This tell us that the cost is £100 pounds and £2 for each unit, therefore, the equation relating the cost to the number of products produced is:
Cost = (N° of products) × £2 + £100
Ahhhh ok, so y is the fixed cost of the business existing whereas x would be the additional cost of making products
Yes, that's right

does anyone know how to factorise this expression easily ?
doing it the hard way
developping the expression
then factorising is annoying as hell
well i dont have the tools for it actually
knief
that good?
question, is this from a derivative or something?
it is lol
the derivate of another function
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
just show the original function
you gotta derivate this
wait so how did you get this
you’re taking the derivative of this?
i gotta derivate this function
and i got the thing i first sent
ok then let’s restart because you just made it messier
you’re familiar with the quotient rule yes
well i used the property from (u/v)
'
that is what i used
$(\frac{u}{v})’ = \frac{vu’ - uv’}{v^2}$
knief
now
i'm not gonna lie i kinda struggle with derivating composed functions
yes i used that
no lol
what is that 😮
it looks hard tho lol
it’s essentially designed for this sort of problem
suppose $y = \frac{x^4+9x^2}{(x^2+3)^2}$
knief
knief
what is ln
you know implicit differentiation right
natural log
oh we haven't studied that yet
logarithms?
you’re doing calculus but don’t know what a log is
it’s the inverse of exponential functions
yea that’s true for ph and all that
yes
-log
but how do you write it ?
wdym
do you know the function e^x
log(x)*
yes
well ln(x) is called the natural log, it’s the inverse function of e^x
so it is 1/e^x ?
given an input x, ln(x) tells you the exponent e must be raised to to get x
and you don’t know implicit differentiation either?
no...
alright...
for implicit differentiation, logarithms, and logarithmic differentiation
but for now
but then how do i solve the exercise the hard way
we can do it the tedious way
cause i suppose he doesnt want us to use you method
oh well i tried but then i get x^4 + a constant and other stuff and idk how to factorise that
$f’’(x) = \frac{(x^2+3)^2(4x^3+18x) - (x^4+9x^2)(4x(x^2+3))}{(x^2+3)^4}$
knief
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
you can cancel one factor of x^2+3 immediately
which gives us
i find it kinda hard cause you gotta be careful that nothing can be simplified on each step
$f’’(x) = \frac{(x^2+3)(4x^3+18x) - (x^4+9x^2)(4x)}{(x^2+3)^3}$
knief

then we have
i think you forgot one element
the (x^2 + 3) should dissapear right
oh yeah no ok sorry
$f’’(x) = \frac{(x^2+3)(2x)(2x^2+9) - 4x^3(x^2+9)}{(x^2+3)^3}$
knief
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
hmm from here it’s probably best to just distribute through
i don’t see anything else to do
so what do you get when distributing
$f’’(x) = \frac{(4x^5+30x^3+54x) - (4x^5+36x^3)}{(x^2+3)^3}$
knief
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
then the 4x^5 cancels
and 30x^3 - 36x^3 is -6x^3
so
$f’’(x) = \frac{-6x^3+54x}{(x^2+3)^3}$
knief
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
you can factor the numerator if you’d like
wow it seems so simple
well i think the simplifying part isn't easy to see
don’t expand things immediately
notice how i waited until nothing could’ve been factored further
to expand

I have a probability of getting a VIP when opening one crate, which is 0.5%. I want to calculate the probability of getting 4 or more VIPs when opening multiple crates.
So say I got 1000 crates and I open them all in a row, how do I calculate the chance I get 4 or more VIPs?
I found the formula for the binomial probability: P(X = k) = comb(N, k) * p^k * (1 − p)^(N − k)
I used this formula to calculate the probability for 750 crates and got approximately 19%. However, when I increased the probability to 1%, the result dropped to about 7%, which seems counterintuitive.
I suppose that is due to the formula being X = k, so it doesn't account for me getting more than 4 VIPs
@dire harness Has your question been resolved?
I think I just realised how to solve this
Mhmm
I use the formula I provided earlier for X = 1, X = 2, X = 3
Mhm
Yes
so that's P(X>=4)
But X=0?
thanks, it was for a small python program, so this works out perfectly because I can just do a for loop

Anyone that could point out my mistake? Trying to prove that $E(g(X)) \approx g(u)$ by approximating the probability function $p_x(x) \approx p_x(u) - (x-u)p(x)$. Using the law of the unconcious statistician, I tried to evaluate the expected value $E(g(X))= \sum_k g(k)p_x(k) \approx \sum_k g(k)(p_x(u) +(k-u)p'_x(k)) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) + g(k)p_x'(u)k -g(k)up'_x(k) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) + g(k)p_x'(k) k-g(k)\sum_k(kp_x(k))p'_x(k) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) + g(k)p_x(u) -g(k)p_x(u)kp'_x(k) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) $
Pen
I used the fact that $\sum_k g(k)up'(k) = \sum_k g(k)\sum_k kp(k) p'(k) = \sum_k g(k)kp'(x)$
Pen
Since the sum of the probability function is just 1

,rotate
how do i solve this
You need to draw the lines and find the one with the smallest slope
f'(A), f'(B) and f'(F) represent the slope of the lines tangent to the points at A, B and F respectively.
[f(C) - f(B)]/(C - B) and [f(F) - f(A)]/(F - A) are rise over run and represent the slope of the lines that pass through the points at C and B and the points at F and A, respectivelly
you need to draw the lines and see which is pointing downwards the most
what do you mean?
is the answer f prime of f

Can i get help with this task?
find the asymptotes
i know that when the denominator is = 0 theres a vertical asymptote
or the oblique asymptote
But how do you write it?
my friend wrote it like this:
but idk how to prove that
32/0 ?
how is that infinity
@shy lynx
I don’t think it has a horizontal asymptote
why
your friend is wrong, the limit does not exist (even if you allow +-inf)
since it depends which side you approach it from
because it's a grade difference?
then what is right?
a rational function p(x)/q(x) has a vertical asymptote at a if p(a) =/= 0 and q(a) = 0
that's how I'd justify it
if I recall for rational any function
a(x)/b(x)
where a(x) and b(x) are polynomials
if a(x) degree is greater then the degree of b(x) then it does not have a horizontal asymptote
hmm i see
but it can still have oblique asymptotes
yep (if oblique asymps are what I think they are)
to find an oblique asymptote first calculate lim_{x to inf} g(x)/x
if that exists call it a
then calculate lim_{x to inf} g(x) - ax
call that b
then your oblique asymptote is ax+b
If either limit fails to exist then there is no oblique asymptote
(then do the same process for x -> -inf)
how do i do that?
Write down g(x)/x
calculate its limit at inf the same way you would when calculating a horizontal asymptote
i dont seem to quite understand
the horizontal asymptotes are where the function stretches out to the left or right and seems to settle on a specific y-value
for example, this part of y=1/x has a horizontal asymptote at y=0 and a vertical one at x=0
i know what they are
but this looks like a different language to me
see what value your function approaches as x gets higher and higher
oh oblique asymptotes
idk how to do those nvm
Polynomial division should also work
In this case you get $g(x) = -x - 7 - \frac{32}{x-5}$. (I cheated and asked WolframAlpha to do that for me.)
Morrow
So the slant asymptote is -x-7
i got this
what do you do about the last 32
The point is that that doesn't matter, since that part goes to 0 as x -> inf
where is the infinity in the equation
also is this correct to check if it has a vertical asymptote?
so you check by placing x to infinity if it's a oblique asymptote?
Yeah so $g(x) - (-x-7) = \frac{32}{5-x}$ which goes to $0$ as $x \to \infty$.
Morrow
So it satisfies the definition
how is that equal
Because you did the polynomial division and got $-x-7$ with a remainder of $32$. What that means is that $g(x) = -x - 7 - \frac{32}{x-5}$. Then you just subtract $-x-7$ from both sides.
Morrow
is a considered (-x - 7) ?
a is -1, b is -7
(wikipedia uses the letters m,n instead of a,b but it's the same thing)
but when you do polynomial division
wont you get the answer
@shy lynx
im stuck here
im trying to understand but im stuck here
yes you do get that
and when you do lim x -> infinity or lim x-> -infinity you get 0? in 32/5-x
yeah
that's your asymptote
at infinity
for -infinity the exact same logic works
so it's also an oblique asymptote at -infinity
if i were to write this on paper how would i do it?
@shy lynx
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = 0$$
Morrow
do i not include (-x - 7) ?
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} [g(x) - (-x-7)] = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = 0$$
Morrow
wait im confused again how is it = not +
why would it be +
why
what do you get
but why do you subtract
Because we want one side to look like g(x) - (ax + b)
but wont the whole equation change if you remove it?
you subtract from both sides, you still have a valid equation
from both sides how does that work
it's algebra
just like if I have 3x+5=8 then I can subtract 5 from both sides to get 3x = 3
no
but im moving it over the = ?
g(x) = (-x - 7) + 32/(5-x)
===>
g(x) - (-x - 7) = (-x - 7) + 32/(5-x) - (-x - 7)
===>
g(x) - (-x - 7) = 32/(5-x)
oh yeah i meant the second
forgot to add the last part
is it right now?
g(x) - (-x - 7) = 32/5-x ?
yes
do you do lim -inf and lim inf now?
yep
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}$$
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}$$
Morrow
on both sides
you didn't calculate the limit on the left correctly because you ignored g(x)
but the point is you're not supposed to calculate the limit on the left
we want to show that the limit on the left is zero
how do i do this?
and we do that by showing that the limit on the right is zero
because we know they're equal
so just calculate lim_{x to infty} 32/(5-x)
you said 32/-inf
which is zero
can you do it visually?
wdym
like show me like this
literally just that
but if you want you can write
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = \frac{32}{5-\infty} = \frac{32}{-\infty} = 0$$
Morrow
if your class lets you write it that way
arent you supposed to shorten the first part of the =
include the $$\lim_{x \to \infty} [g(x) - (-x-7)] =$$ part
Morrow
no
x is infinity?
you're ignoring the g(x) part
how is that relevant
because it's part of the expression
you can't just ignore parts of the expression
the whole point of this exercise is that g(x) is very close to -x-7 when x is large
so g(x) - (-x-7) is going to be very small
so you add x = infinity on the right side of the equation but not the left?
I'm only evaluating the limit on the right
because it's an easy limit to calculate
That's the whole reason I wrote the equality
my friend did it like this, is this wrong or correct?
it's the same thing, just more disorganized
how does this equal 0
the red circle is g(x)
because x is 5?
so youre not adding x to infinity on the left side but the right side?
okay im here
The full answer is
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} [g(x) - (-x-7)] = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = \frac{32}{5-\infty} = \frac{32}{-\infty} = 0$$
Morrow
is g(x) = y?
what
the point was to find the asymptote
g(x) is our function
how do i find the asymptote with that
because it equals to 0?
Morrow
all the stuff in between are the steps
should i write that in the end?
wait
so if it's - infinity
what do we then
the same?
just that its 32/-infinity = 0?
if what's -infinity?
oh you mean x -> -infinity
yeah
yeah it's pretty much the same thing
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} [g(x) - (-x-7)] = \lim_{x \to -\infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = \frac{32}{5+\infty} = \frac{32}{\infty} = 0$$
Morrow
Is this correct? @shy lynx
looks great
im curious if the answer is -x - 7
why do we have the extra - there before
why do we decide to ignore it?
because we want to look at the difference between g(x) and -x-7
and show that the difference is small if x is big
by doing that, we show that g(x) gets closer and closer to -x-7
that's why we subtract
it's a bit late, I need to sleep

Factor out 15!
WHAT
20! = 20 * 19 * 18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * … = 20 * 19 * 18 * 17 * 16 * 15!
so 20! - 15! = 20 * 19 * 18 * 17 * 16??
so is the hundreds digit 0?
n! has floor(n/5) + floor(n/25) + ... etc 0s

i wanna know , is it true for all questions like this or are there some exceptions?
like if we have |x| <= smthing , we need both u=> -smthing and u=< smthing
what is "questions like this"
i mean like
|3x/5 - 1| <= 2/5
yes whenever you see absolute value, you should use the definition of absolute value
like here , we would need union of both the solutions , cuz we need both
,tex .abs def
yeah ik that
but my original question was
why did they take intersection here
the problem was |3-1/x| <= 1/2
unlike |3x/5 - 1| <= 2/5 , where we took union of the solutions of both cases
@plucky elk (srry for ping)
riemann
yeah i did use those and split into 2 cases
You have to use the union or intersection depending on the question
but i dont understand when to take intersection and union
Union is "or" and intersection is "and"
how would i know when to use union / intersection

find the volume
answer is 11pi/3
a sketch would be very useful
would the outer radius be y=x^2?
The only mistake that I see is that it should be sqrt(y)² - (y²)²
yeah i think i see that now i thought outer radius would be x=y^2
Oh I realized we rotate about y=1
So basically outer radius is R = 1-x² and inner radius 1-sqrt(x)
how come it is 1-x^2? because rotate at y=1?
how did you get that R = 1-x² and inner radius 1-sqrt(x)
The green represents the outer radius
Which is 1-x²

starting from the (n+1)f(n+1) - nf(n) = 0, how did they get f(n) = 1/2n
here ignore the =0 part
and notice the pattern
3f(3) in first line and -3f(3) in the second
then
have you noticed pattern?
i mean how did they get 2(f2) = 1/2 without steps
after that do what
here notice that first term of a line will be cancelled by the 2nd term of the second line
this is the pattern you're suppoesed to observe
so they substitute the 2f(2) in the equation cuz all terms cancel except the 2
f(n+1) = 2f(2)/n+1
but how they get 2f(2) = 1/2
plug in n=0

What i've done for this question is, made the taylor for the log(1+x), and then the log(1-x). They however have taken a different route in the working out which i do not understand why becasue we end up with different taylor series in terms of the negative/positive sign
@cinder delta Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
is the picture you sent your work or the solution
if it's the solution, show your work
Question and the solution, my work just the taylor for the log(1+x), pretty much same as the solution up until the log(1-x) part which is where my question arises
show what you did for log(1-x) then
alright gimme a moment
here it is, mb i had to finish up dinner
So, i'm not going to question why they do ln1+x - ln1-x because its probably an algebraic strategy that i've forgotten, but my issue is how they go about their taylor series for ln1-x
if f(x) = ln(1-x) you got f' wrong
chain rule remember
Yep, it seems like it was litearlly just that one error that caused the whole issue. Once I fixed it, everything aligned up with solution. And just as a confirmation, is the ln(1+x) - ln(1-x) thing an algebraic thing ?

i cant seem to figure out how my teacher got this answer? what formula am i suppose to be using?
can anyone help me understand how to solve 10 + x = 6x? i know the answer is x = 2 (correct me if i'm wrong) but i don't understand how to solve it. the thing with me is that i can't just memorize the steps. i need to understand it, the why's and then the how's. i used to be able to solve this but i haven't done math in a long time so now i have no fuckin' idea how to do it argh. i also don't remember having to subtract for both sides but the steps say so, like huh!

hey
Use imgur
oh ty
this dumb ipad won't let me upload
Finally
They’re uploading now
just wondering why this doesn't actually work to get the answer
It assumes constant acceleration
wdym? wouldn't (V-U/t) give a constant deceleration?
how could i use a similar approach/ equation to get the right answer?
?
Yeah, but just by observing your velocity function, you can see that acceleration clearly isn’t constant.
but isn't 52 the answer
Integrate it lol
sorry)
its 17.33
is it parabolic cos of the squared term?
ohh ok i get it
im a bit confused
No, it’s piecewise, look at the velocity time graph
ye, its made of a 2 constants, that straight line constant and then the constant deceleration
yeah but if you use the formula with a, you put s=260
but that's the displacement for the whole 20s
Yup, exactly
yeah?
the 10u is the distance convered in the first 10 seconds
but the 0.5at^2 doesn't find the distance covered in the last 10 seconds?
you should sub s = 260 - 10u
so 260-10u = 0.5at^2
thats not right
i still don't understand why 0.5(v-u/t)t^2 doesn't give you the distance covered during the deceleration moment
oh
wait
i did find out that if i swap (v-u/t) for (u-v/t) i get the right answer?
so if i take the deceleration as acceleration in my equation i get the right answer?
I was just messing around n taking acceleration as a positive value gets me the right answer?
I think so, idk maybe it works in general, if I was you, I would test it.but in this case it seems wrong, since you used a +ve acceleration for a decelerating body. Idk.
so just integrating would be the best thing to do with questions like this?
so
260 = 10u + 0.5*10u
if thats what u meant by integrating on a piecewise function.
Yeah that’s what I was referring to

$\int\frac{1}{cos(x)+1}dx$
Nathan
How do I integrate
not exactly
In general, $Cos (2x) = Cos^2 (x) - Sin^2 (x)$
Adarsh
Hey I was close 😎
yup yup
Alr I’ll try it
You can rewrite that as, $Cos(2x) = 2Cos^2 (x) - 1$
Adarsh
I would probably prefer using this one for this particular question
$\cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2 (\theta) - 1$
Edmund Cloudsley
remember that $2 \theta$ here $ = x$
Edmund Cloudsley
Alr
subsequently just $\theta$ = $\frac{x}{2}$
Edmund Cloudsley
keep that little thing in mind
Yeah
Uh
Okay uh I’m missing something
Did I do this right?
@lean otter
@obsidian ginkgo
Is this the same question?
Yes
I see it 1 sec
Ok
Yea it's fine
Nathan
Rewrite it in terms of cos and sin
Nathan
how
Take the lcm
$1 - Cos x = 2Sin^2 (x/2)$
Adarsh
$Sinx = 2Sin(x/2) Cos(x/2)$
Adarsh
Dividing we get tan
$\frac{2Sin^2(\frac{x+y}{2})}{2Sin(\frac{x+y}{2})Cos(\frac{x+y}{2})}$
Nathan
$\frac{Sin(\frac{x+y}{2})}{Cos(\frac{x+y}{2})}$
Nathan
$tan(\frac{x+y}{2}) = x + C$
Nathan
why would they write it like that? @obsidian ginkgo
is there some other way to get that?
They integrated this using partial fractions I'm guessing

What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
1
1
Cause it can be factored in the form
(x-a)² + (y-b)² = r²
Where (a, b) is the center
And r is radius
How to change it in that form? 112 isn’t a square
Firstly take 8 common
As coeff of x² and y² is 1
Then form x-a and y-b squares
Don't worry about r
Why and how did u think of that

equations with modulus
guys, pls help, I got these roots, but idk correctly or not and where is the module here?
my solve:
x1 = (-1+√29)/(2) ≈ 2,15
x2 = (-1-√29)/(2) ≈ -3, 15
Can you show your work
Ohhhh it's (√x-2)² , well that makes it simple
Yeah looks fine
close values are written just for convenience
I don't got where the module is here? Or should acceptable values here?
can u help me?
What module? Can you paste the complete question
This is an assignment on the topic "equations with moduli", which means that there must be some kind of check here, because this is not just a quadratic equation. We have such a concept as ODZ, for you it means acceptable values, and at first I did not understand that the acceptable values are x - 2 >= 2 => x >= 2 because we have a root in the equation

does anyone know if its over for me
i think i might only be 100iq
cant get into oxford
30x+10y=700
20x+5y=425
=> 5y = 125
=> y = 25
so C assuming i did my mental math correctly
how did you get rid of 10x
elimination
I think x is 15?
multiply first equation by 2 and second equation by 3
Also mental maths
correct, but they only ask for y
Just multiply eq 2 by 2
It’s simpler and we eliminate variable y
that gives you x lol
For now and solve for x
We want y
Ik
it's the same thing just do whichever one is easier for you ig ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Then sub it back in to any equation
this is an admissions test question
For what?
oxford
As in... current round?
Can’t be
ok good
If it was
you need to do it in like 40 secs
does it get easier
I’ll be in Cambridge by now
took me like 10 or so, so reasonable
I'm not british, and I'm not applying to oxford
so no clue
the questions are rlly easy but the time limit is bad
Ngl
50 in 1hr
Oxbridge exams are annoying
idk if im smart enough tbh
Do your grades not matter for oxford lol
I could prob answe le a couple but that’s all
what do u guys think, does it have to do with talent or no
It does
oh ok
yes im predicted the required
aaa
You need a min grade req of double A* and A
so i applied
nothing has to do with talent
just practice
thats for med and shit
that's all you can do anyway
A level or equivalent
some people are smarter than others naturally
#oh?
im applying ppe
I don’t bother doing the medical aptitude use test
I was too lazy and now I regret it
…
i mean obviously, but you can still grow your intelligence through practice
idk
I think i did ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You also need to develop your mental strength
youd have to do specific brain training i think
not much can be generalised to intelligence
for reference, i ranked below average in grade 9 on junior national CS contest, and ranked among the top 8% in grade 11 on the senior level
all it took was 4-5 hours of practice every day
so you can do this
i q is best measure
I Q is irrelevant here
Ofc if you have a higher one you'll need to do less practice
ok ill try then, yh its true theres no way hard work wouldnt be effective
with this sort of thing
when is it?
im scoring at 45 rn haven;t practiced at all
a score of 65 is good enough for my curse
its in 9 days
70 is preferrable
i got 21/50 for reference, ran out of time
this question is based on 9th grade curriculum math isn't it?
at least here i remember learning it
yh theres nothing complex only time pressured critical thinking
okay fair enough

why is the answer 41
maybe because one of the matinee performances will fall on a Sunday?
So if we write down a weekly calendar of performances, for MTWRFSS that is 1122120 right?
a month of 31 days consists of 4 weeks + 3 days, which must be chosen to be a consecutive block.
if the above doesn't make sense, grab a calendar, and look at each possible starting date of a month of 31 days.
Anyway there are a total of (how many) performances in a week, and then we can choose (which three days) to get another (how many) performances out of the remaining 3 days?
I would think of it that you have at least (6+3) x 4 = 36 activities at least in 28 days, and the the best case for the remaining 3 days would be thursday (+2), friday (+1) and saturday (+2) = 5 total, so 36+5 = 41
or WRF or TWR, you have a total of 3 different possiblilities

having some trouble here, ABCD is a trapezoid, AB II DC
BC = 13cm
DC = 20cm
AD = 15cm
AE = 12cm
AE ⊥ DC
I need to find what AB's length is
Introducing a point F in the right spot should be enough to calculate AB
i dont understand?
You won’t calculate AB with the given lines alone
You need to draw one more line to calculate AB
One that isn’t there yet
Going from one of the points already there to a new point F
this one's a real noggin scratcher for me
going down from B, drawing a parallel line to AE where it would meet with DC at point F?
Yes
and that is surely the only way to solve it? i havent done something like this in other exercises, but i figure i never had to either..
all right well it seems right, i sadly dont have the answers for the exercises, but i'll check if its all right tommorow.

Evaluate x:
x-9=5x+51
I dont know the steps
$ x - 9 = 5x + 51 \text{ becomes } x = 5x + 60 $ \
This is because we need to add $9$ since it is subtracted from $x$ on the left side. This will give us the first function we will need.
luxzi
So you add the 9 to 51 and have x=5x+60
Yes, exactly
You dont add 9 to 5x
What if it was x+9 instead of x-9
Now that you have x=5x+60 what do you do
