Answer:
y=2 and x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
sub 2 into 1
3(15-7y) + 4y= 11
45 - 21y +4y =11
-21y+4y= 11-45
-17y= - 34
y=2
Therefore sub y into x equation
x=15-7(2)
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
U must find the median, the range, and the mode. And that is your answer
