So first you multiply x and -3 by 4 to distribute, then you collect like terms so (-12+5=-7) , then you add seven to both sides and the -7+7 cancels out so you have 4x by itself, then you divide 4x/4 but it cancels out to and 8 by 4 to get x and you answer should be x=2. Hope this helped

4(x-3)+5=1
4x-12+5=1
4x-7=1
+7 +7
4x=8
4x/4 8/4

x=2

4(x - 3) + 5 = 1....distribute thru the parenthesis
4x - 12 + 5 = 1....simplify
4x - 7 = 1...add 7 to both sides
4x = 1 + 7...simplify
4x = 8...divide both sides by 4
x = 8/4
x = 2 <===

A battery is charged. The percentage of the battery’s capacity that is charged as a function of time (in minutes) is graphed.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

A- 12 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see on the graph that the charged percentage of capacity changes from 40 to 50 in 5 minutes. Then the increase in 6 minutes will be slightly more than 10 percent.

The linear rate is (10%)/(5 min) = 2%/min, so in 6 minutes it will be

(2%/min)×(6 min) = 12%

This calculation is consistent with our observation from the graph.

Every 6 minutes, 12 percent is added to the capacity.
