Well, It would be hard to write out the formula and everything here so I wrote it out for you! Work shown!
8n+52=12(n+2)
distribute
8n+52 = 12n+24
subtract 8n from each side
52=4n +24
subtract 24 from each side
28 = 4n
divide by 4 on each side
7=n
Answer:
tall candles = 39
Short candles = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
let tall candles be x
and short candles be y
No. Of candles sold = x + y =91
Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572
These both are simultaneous linear equations.
x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)
5x + 5y = 455
8x + 5y = $572
Subtract them:
-3x = -117
x = -117/3
x = 39
put value of x in
x + y = 91
39 + y = 91
y = 91 - 39
y = 52
x shows tall candles so they are 39
y shows short candles so they are 52
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = ab^x where 0<b<1 for exponential decay
an example would be y = 3(1/7)^x
