1. Write the equation:
-x - 5 = 3(x - 7)

2. Expand the right side:
-x - 5 = 3x - 21

3. Add x to both sides:
-5 = 4x - 21

4. Add 21 to both sides:
16 = 4x

5. Divide by 4:
x = 4

User One of the applications of the derivative of a function is its use in Physics, where a function that at every instant t associates the number s(t), this function s is called the clockwise function of the movement. By deriving the time function we obtain the velocity function at time t, denoted by v(t). A body has a time function that determines its position in meters at time t as S(t)=t.³√t+2.t . Present the speed of this body at time t = 8 s.
