Answer:

h = -t+20

After 8 hours the candle will be 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 points (time, inches)

 (3,17)  and (5,15)

We can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (15-17)/(5-3)

   = -2/2

   = -1

We can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Replace y with h and x with t

h-17 = -1 (t-3)

Distribute

h-17 = -t+3

Add 17 to each side

h-17+17 = -t+3+17

h = -t+20

After 8 hours

h = -t+20

h = -8+20

h= 12

Which of the following expressions represents “the quotient of nine times a number and seven ?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

9n÷7

Step-by-step explanation:

A quotient means a ratio or one quantity being divided by another, or in algebraic terms (a/b). In this case, the first quantity is "nine times a number" represented in terms of n as (n). The other quantity is just the number 7.

Dividing the 9 times n by 9 gives us the following:

9n÷7
