Answer:

4 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

first i subtracted 1.3 from 4 and got 2.7

Next i just multiplied 0.6 by random numbers ubtil i got something close to 2.7

i ended up with 2.4 when I multiplied 0.6 by 4

it still is .3 short

since it takes an hour for the candle to burn, then if you cut it in half, that means 30 minutes

therfore, 4.5 hours

Is the equation y=3x + 10 proportional? Explain how you know
Tom [10]

Answer: Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x and y coordinates form proportional relationships, then there is some non-changing number (a constant) that when multiplied times x will create y. In this example, that number is 3 (y = 3x), and is called the constant of proportionality. ... It is a positive number.

What is the simultanous equation of 2x+y=–5 3x+2y=–8 equation Using the Substitution method​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Equation form: x=-2,y=-1

Point form: (-2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-\frac{3x}{2} -4

y=-2x-5

Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.

Add the equations in order to solve for the first variable. Plug this value into the other equations in order to solve for the remaining variables.

Solve by Substitution ---> 2x+y=-5 3x+2y=-8

Suppose the leftmost digits of two numbers are 8 and 3. Can you tell which number is greater if so explain.
Irina-Kira [14]
You cannot tell which number is greater just by the leftmost digits. This is because you do not know how many digits each number has. Ex: 80 and 3,000

HELP ME PLEASE EDCITE !!!!
damaskus [11]

Answer:

I might be in highschool, but I'm sure I can still help.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the 45 degree angles? that means they're equal sides. So 4v2 = 5.65, right? so if you take 180 - 5.65, and then divide by two, you should have the length to each of those sides. They're equal, remember. So, the answer would be 180 - 5.65 = 174.35. 174.35 / 2 = 87.175. In this case, k = 87.175 :)
