The size of the candle 12cm will be reduced as follows:
12-0.5x (x are hours), an the size of the candle 18cm will be reduced as follows: 18-2x, so if you want to find at what time both will be the same height only match the two equations: 12-0.5x=18-2x and solvr for x.
-0.5x+2x=18-12
1.5x=6
x=6/1.5=4 this means 4 hours
If you lit both candles at 6pm then at 10pm they will be the same height
(adittional info: the height will be 10inches)

Answer:

15x^3y+6x^2y^2+9xy^3

Step-by-step explanation:

3xy ( 5x^2 +2xy +3y^2)

Distribute the 3xy to all terms in the parentheses

3xy*5x^2+3xy*2xy+3xy*3y^2

15x^3y+6x^2y^2+9xy^3

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

is the given line  3x - 4y = -17?

then,

- 4y = -3x -17

y=(3/4)x+17/4

it is parallel, so slope of our line is 3/4 or 0.75

y=0.75x+b

next, lets plug in the given point to get the y-int

2=0.75*(-3)+b

2=-2.25+b

b-2.25=2

b=4.25

the equation is y=0.75x+4.25

does this clear anything, or am I off topic? please tell me I will help you

The bill was $14.00. She left a 20% tip for the waitress. How much change did she get back from $20.00
drek231 [11]
20%=0.2
14*0.2 = 2.8 ( $2.80 is the tip she will be giving her)
$14+$2.80 = $16.80 ( what she will be giving in total) 
$20-$16.80 = $3.20 (the change she will get back)
