X = 2
The absolute value lines basically just serve as parentheses in this equation.
(2-1)/(2-1) = 1
(1)/(1) = 1
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).














Now plug in x=21, we get

Thus the height of the candle after 21 hours is 18.5 centimeters.
Answer:
3rd option
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(-5, -10)
Step-by-step explanation:
y+2x = 5y
==>2x=4y
x=2y
5y=3(2y)+5
==>
y = -5
x = -10
==>
