The correct answer to the question is to report
4x=32
You would divide 32/4 to find x which is 8. So since we found x we will apply it to the equation
35 - 5(8) = 35-40 = -5
Answer:
D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself
Explanation:
On May 10, 1773, the British Parliament passed the <u>Tea Act</u>. This act allowed British companies to ship tea to the colonies without duties, but the colonists still had to pay a tax on tea.
They were outraged at this display of "taxation without representation", so they tried to boycott the tea and force the ships to return to Britain. This didn't work, so they moved onto their next plan: <u>The Boston Tea Party.</u> On December 10, 1773, a group known as the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves and boarded the ship. They threw thousands of pounds of British tea into the Boston Harbor.
The British found out and they were angry and shocked. They realized the colonies were out of control, so they passed the <u>Coercive/Intolerable Acts.</u> These:
- Closed the Boston Harbor
- Placed the colony under direct British control
- Prevented trials of British officials from occurring in the colonies
- Required British soldiers to be quartered at the colonists' expense
The correct answer is D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself. The colony had some power, but it was extremely limited.
