We are looking for the amount of wax it will take to fill up that size candle mold to make that candle. That means that we are looking for the volume of wax, and the shape is a cylinder. The volume formula for a cylinder is
.
For us, that will look like this:
which translates to
V = 3.14(9)(5) which gives us a volume of 141.3 cubic inches. Rounding to the nearest cubic inch is simply 141 cubic inches of wax.
So the left side has a common denominator of 3. The 6x, -2x, and 8 can all go over a single 3. (6x-2x+8/3). Simplify the x's to get 4x. Now both sides have to be multiplied by 3 to get rid of that fraction. Then you just have 4x+8=24. Subtract 8 from both sides to get the x's alone, then divide both sides by 4 to get x alone. I have a picture to help.
