The stalactites become 0.004 + 0.006 = 0.01 inches closer each year, and begin 10 feet apart, or 120 inches apart.
let y be the distance between them, and x be the number of years that go by:
y = -0.01x + 120
We want to find where y = 0, where they meet:
0 = -0.01x + 120 Add 0.01x to both sides
0.01x = 120 Multiply both sides by 100
x = 12,000
The stalagmite and stalactite will meet in 12,000 years
Answer:
y = 3/x

Answer:
5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Joey spent a total of $325. He first paid the fee of $150. Let's subtract $150 from $325.
$325 - $150 = $175
Now, we know that it costs $35 per hour to rent the car. So, we divide $175 by $35 to find out how many hours Joey rented the car for.
$175 ÷ $35 = 5 hours
Cost = c
names are abbreviated
w = 1/3c
s = 1/3c + 6
from here i cant go further because i don't know what the numbers mean in the 2:5 ratio. but i will continue if u tell me. for example, could it be the paid cost to the total cost ratio?
<h2>im pretty sure it is... 56,280?</h2>
