Answer: 
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Answer:
x=1 y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate x for 4x -y=2: X=2+y/4
Substitute x= 2+y/4
(2+y/4 )+3y=7
simplify 2+13y/4=7
Isolate y for 2+13y/4=7
y=2
Forx= 2+y/4
Substitute y = 2
x= 2+2/4
Simplify
X=1
Let t = number of hours
The first candle starts at 8 inches.
It burns at 7/10 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (7/10)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 8 - (7/10)t
The second candle starts at 6 inches.
It burns at 1/5 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (1/5)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 6 - (1/5)t
You want the lengths to be equal, so the equation is
8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t
Answer:
y=20
Step-by-step explanation:
0.6(y-10)=6
0.6y-6=6
0.6y=6+6
0.6y=12
y=12/0.6
y=20
the mistake is added 10 to both sides
