To solve the equation 3 x + 1 = 4 x + (negative 4)

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+1 = 4x -4

Subtract 3x from each side

3x+1-3x = 4x-3x-4

1 = x-4

add 4 to each side

1+4 = x-4+4

5 =x

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8

step-by-step explanation:

since no one answered yet i will give it a shot, not completely sure tho.

i think it should be y=cos(x+2pi), (third answer, answer c)

good luck.
