Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A candle is 4 inches tall and burns at the rate of 0.6 inch per hour.

i.e. after 1 hour height of candle=4-0.6 inches

After 2 hours height of candle=4-0.6-0.6 inches

after x hours height of candle=4-0.6x

Also,

If the height of the candle after x hours is 1.5 inches

⇒  4-0.6x=1.5

⇒ 0.6x=4-1.5

⇒ 0.6x=2.5

⇒ x=2.5/0.6

⇒ x=4.166

Hence, equation to represent the situation. is:

4-0.6x=1.5

and the expected number of hours in which the candle  melted to 1.5 inches is:

4.166 hours

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

[ Answer ]

\boxed{2y \ + \ 28}

[ Explanation ]

4(y + 6) - 2(y - 2)

[Expand] 4(y + 6): 4y + 24

4y + 24 - 2(y - 2)

[Expand] -2(y - 2): -2y + 4

4y + 24 - 2y + 4

[Simplify] 4y + 24 - 2y + 4: 2y + 28

= 2y + 28

If log(base4)x=2.5 and log(base Y)125=-3/2, find the numerical value of x/y, in simplest form.
Naya [18.7K]
X = (2^2)^(2.5) 
<span>x = 2^(2 * 2.5) </span>
<span>x = 2^5 </span>
<span>x = 32 
</span>y^(-3/2) = 125 
<span>y^(-3) = 125^2 </span>
<span>y^(-3) = (5^3)^2 </span>
<span>y^(-3) = (5^2)^3 </span>
<span>y^(-3) = 25^3 </span>
<span>y = 25^(-1) </span>
<span>y = 1/25 </span>


<span>x/y => </span>
<span>32 / (1/25) => </span>
<span>32 * 25 => </span>
<span>800 is the simplest form of above
