Honestly, the most intelligent solution would be to light the candle first, since it has a longer duration and then I can light the lamp, and then I can light the newspaper. Then, I will use the newspaper to light the fire.
8 = 8v - 4 (v + 8)
Distribute the 4 through the parentheses
8 = 8v - 4v - 32
combine like terms
8 = 4v - 32
add 32 to both sides
8 + 32 = 4v -32 + 32
combine like terms
40 = 4v
divide each side by 4
40/10 = v
4 = v
v= 4
let's set up an equation:
x-4=9
solve normally:
x=13
By using green to find the pink locate all the ponies
(x,y)
(2,1)
sub 2 for x and 1 for y and see if you get a true statemtn
2=x
y=1
1=1-2
1=-1
false
no it is not a soluiton
