Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of
the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Let x be the amount of time in hours
Let y be the heoght of a candle in centimeters
The two points are then as (9,24.5) and (23,17.5).














Now plug in x=21, we get

Thus the height of the candle after 21 hours is 18.5 centimeters.

equation: 7.84 / 7
Answer:
, where x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).
Then its length = 2x-7 ( in inches).
Area of rectangle = Length × width
= (2x-7) × (x)
= 2x × x -7 ×x
= 2x²-7x
The area of the rectangle is 72 square inches.

Hence, the equation that represents the given situation :
