Elio makes candles that are 14cm. Each candle burns 8 hours before going out. He is wondering how many hours a 21 cm tall candle

can burn for. He assumes that the relationship between the height of a candle and number of hours it burns (h), is proportional.

Elio is right in assuming the relationship between the height and the hours it burns is proportional.

Find the unit rate

14 ÷ 8 = 1.75 cm/h

Divide

21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

You can set this up as an algebraic equation to check the answer.

If the candle is 21 cm tall, it will burn for 12 hours.

4x-10y=12

Subtract 4x from each side.
-10y=-4x+12

Divide both sides by -10
y=2/5x-6/5

3)
13=1/6y+2x

Subtract 2x from each side.
-2x+13=1/6y

Multiply both sides by 6.
-12x+78=y

Flip it around.
y=-12x+78

Hope this helps!

Plz help I don’t understand how to find x?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets add 82 + 55 which equals 137, then 137 +47 which equals 184

Now we know that a triangle equals 180 degrees (cannot go over 180), so this tells us x is a negitive number.

-x + 184 = 180

-x = -4

Another way to look at it is; 184 minus what equals 180? 4 does, so it translates into -4.
