Marking Brainliest. Can someone please how to do this with a fairly simple explanation? I'm not sure what to do.

Explanation:

In the LS column, you'll have these steps

3x - 1

3*4 - 1

12 - 1

11

Effectively, we replaced x with 4 and then simplified using PEMDAS.

And in the RS column, you'll have these steps

x + 7

4 + 7

11

We get the same thing at the bottom of each column. This shows that we end up with 11 = 11 after simplifying both sides. Therefore, we've confirmed that x = 4 is the solution to 3x - 1 = x + 7

step-by-step explanation:

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
