Use a graphing calculator to find the approximate solutions of the equation. \[ \begin{array}{l}3^{x}-4=8 x+7\end{array} \]

Solve the following system of equations by the addition method. If the system does not have a single ordered pair as a solution, state whether the system is inconsistent or dependent. \[ \begin{aligned} 4 x+3 y & =-14 \\ 2 x-y & =-12\end{aligned} \]

Solve the equation by factoring. \[ x^{2}=7 x-12 \]

b. Two consecufive number are sucl that the sum of thrice the smaller and twice the larger is 17. Find, correct to three significant figures the smaller number as a percen - tage of the sum of the. two numbers.

A. \( 4 x^{2} y\left(x z^{2}+5 w x y+3\right) \).

Solve the following equations and inequalities analytically. Support your solutions graphically. \( \begin{array}{lll}\begin{array}{ll}\text { (a) }|2 x+1|+3=5 & \text { (b) }|2 x+1|+3 \leq 5 \\ \text { (c) }|2 x+1|+3 \geq 5\end{array} \\ \text { A. The solution set is the finite set of real numbers }\{ \\ \text { (a) Find the solution for }|2 x+1|+3=5 \text {.
