Answer:
hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Below is the solution:
There are two equations to be solved here. The first one we assign variables to the home runs Peter hits, P, and Alice hits, A. P=2*(A-6) The second equation is the sum of both players home runs.P + A = 18Solving for P yieldsP=18-A We substitute the solution for P into the first equation and solve for A.(18-A) = 2*(A-6)18 - A = 2A - 123A = 30A = 10 Now that A is known, we can plug it into either equations for P to find how many home runs Peter hitsP=18 - (10) = 8orP=2((10)-4) = 8
In order to compare the amount of wax, you have to calculate the volume of both candles.
Candle of booth A = πr² h/3
A = π * 4² * 6/3
A = π * 16 * 2
A = 32π
Now, Candle of Booth B = π * 5² * 5/3
B = π * 25 * 5/3
B = 41.6π
In short, Booth B sells the candle with more wax.
Hope this helps!
