Please see the explanation section below.

Explanation:

70x4+3xdx

Let u=4+3x.

This makes du=3dx, and x=u43 and the limits of integration become u=4 to u=25

Substitute

1370x(4+3x)12(3dx)=13254u43u12du

=19254(u124u12)du

=19[23u328u12]254

=19[23u32243u12]254

=227[u(u12)]254

=227[5(13)2(8)]

=227(65+16)=227(81)=6
