Assuming you want the slope, the answer is -2/-3.
X-change: -2
Y-change: -3
X-c/Y-c = -2/-3
If -2/-3 is not an answer, try 2/3 or .666 (infinite 6s).
Answer: 19 cm
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
99 = 
99 = 
198 = (2x + 13)(x - 4)
198 = 2x² + 5x - 52
0 = 2x² + 5x - 250
0 = 2x²- 20x + 25x - 250
0 = 2x(x - 10) + 25( x - 10)
0 = (2x + 25)(x - 10)
0 = 2x + 25 or 0 = x - 10
= x or x = 10
Since length cannot be negative, can be disregarded
Larger base: x + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19
When dealing with percentages it is often much easier to convert it to a decimal (mostly because a lot of people are uncomfortable working with fractions) but in this case, I suggest dividing 1 into 5 [hint hint fractions are just glorified division in the long run] and after you have done that multiply by 100. This will get you your answer.
Find the volume of the candle using the formula for volume of a cylinder:
V = PI x r^2 x h = 3.14 x 3.4^2 x 6 = 217.79 cubic cm. Round to 217.8
Find the volume of the block: V = l x w x h = 15 x 12 x 18 = 3,240 cubic cm.
Now divide the volume of the block by the volume of a candle:
3240 / 217.8 = 14.88
Round to the nearest tenth = 14.9 candles.
