MATH

MATHWe want all x on one side, all t on the other.


Divide both sides by (x + 3) and multiply both sides by dt:

MATH

MATHDivide both sides by t.

MATHIntegrate both sides.


Important: dx and dt must be on top of the fraction (i.e. in the numerator).

MATH

Take e to power of both sides:

MATH(We let ec = K, constant)

So x = Kt − 3 .

Typical solution and graph (letting K = 7)

x = 7t − 3
