2x + 22 = 4(x + 3)...distribute thru the parenthesis
2x + 22 = 4x + 12...subtract 2x from both sides, subtract 12 from both sides
22 - 12 = 4x - 2x...simplify
10 = 2x...divide both sides by 2
10/2 = x...reduce
5 = x <==

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
natka813 [3]

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of

the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

Let x be the amount of time in hours

Let y be the heoght of a candle in centimeters

The two points are then as (9,24.5) and (23,17.5).

\mathrm{Find\:the\:line\:}\mathbf{y=mx+b}\mathrm{\:passing\:through\:}\left(9,\:24.5\right)\mathrm{,\:}\left(23,\:17.5\right)

\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(9,\:24.5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(23,\:17.5\right)

m=\frac{17.5-24.5}{23-9}

m=-0.5

\mathrm{Plug\:the\:slope\:}-0.5\mathrm{\:into\:}y=mx+b

y=\left(-0.5\right)x+b

\mathrm{Plug\:in\:}\left(9,\:24.5\right)\mathrm{:\:}\quad \:x=9,\:y=24.5

24.5=\left(-0.5\right)\cdot \:9+b

24.5=\left(-0.5\right)\cdot \:9+b

-4.5+b=24.5

b=29

\mathrm{Construct\:the\:line\:equation\:}\mathbf{y=mx+b}\mathrm{\:where\:}\mathbf{m}=-0.5\mathrm{\:and\:}\mathbf{b}=29

y=-0.5x+29

Now plug in x=21, we get

y=-0.5*21+29=18.5

Thus the height of the candle after 21 hours is 18.5 centimeters.

Liam is setting up folding chairs for a meeting. If he arranges the chairs in 6 rows of the same length, he
vladimir2022 [97]
We will need to have two equations here, having x as the missing length. We know that the chairs are in the same amount on each occasion, so each equation should be equal to the other.

This sets up a problem of:

6x + 7 = 4x + 13

7 and 13 being the leftover chairs and 6 and 4 being the rows. Let’s solve for x.

x = 3

Knowing this, we plug in x for one of the equations

6(3) + 7
18 + 7
25

Liam has 25 chairs.

nignag [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine the individual things

A. x=0 --> y=3.0-5=-5 True

B. x=-1 --> y=3.(-1)-5=-8 False

C. x=5/3 -->y=3(5/3)-5=0 True

D. x=2 --> y=3.2-5=1 True

Answer is B.

You don't understand, you can ask me :)
