When lit, a candle loses 5% of its original height every hour. Jennifer lit a candle with an original height of 8 inches.

Mathematics

Margarita [4]2 years ago

0.05*8 = 0.4 inches = 5% of its original height

As a result, the candle's height decreases by 0.4 inches per hour.

The height will be 7.6 in after 1 hour. It will be 7.2 in about 2 hours. It will be 6.8 after 3 hours, and so forth.

We must determine when the height will be 7 inches. This happens when the candle height has shrunk by one inch (from 8 in to 7 in). As we can see from the estimates above, this will happen between 2 and 3 hours. After 1/0.4 = 2.5 hours, the height will have decreased by 1 inch.

Expand and simplify 2(x + 7) + 3(x + 1)
nordsb [41]

Answer:

5x+17<u />

<u />

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to expand first then we simplify.

<u>Expand</u>

You will have to distribute the 2 over the x & 7 and the 3 over the x & 1 respectively.

<u />2(x+7)+3(x+1)=2x+14+3x+3<u />

<u>Simplify</u>

You will have to add 2x & 3x together and 14 & 3 together.

<u />2x+14+3x+3=5x+17<u />

<u>Answer</u>

<u />5x+17<u />

Answer:

3n/8 +1=25

3n/8= 25-1

3n/8=24

Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fraction on the left

3n=24x8

n=24x8/3

The correct question is 
<span>Ellie made a cube-shaped cardboard box with side-length s. The area of cardboard she used is given by the formula A = 6s2, where s represents the side length of the cube.

Which equation correctly solves the formula for s?

we know that
</span>A = 6s²---------> clear the variable s
s²=A/6------> applying square root both members
s=√(A/6)--------> s=(1/6)*√(6*A)
<span>
the answer is
</span>s=(1/6)*√(6*A)
