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.

Answer:
130
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4x - 3) + 6(3y - 5)
2(4 × 5 - 3) + 6(3 × 7 - 5)
2(20 - 3) + 6(21 - 5)
2(17) + 6(16)
34 + 96

Part A.
Before you can write any sort of expression, you need to define variables. "grapes g" is not a definition, so the exercise seems meaningless as written. It seems the intent is to ...
let g, b, p represent the numbers of pounds of grapes, bananas, and pears, respectively.
Then, the total cost of some weight of fruit is
2.19g + 0.59b + 1.49p
Part B.
For g=3, b=3, p=2, the expression evaluates to
2.19*3 +0.59*3 +1.49*2 = 11.32
The total cost of 3 pounds of grapes, 3 pounds of bananas, and 2 pounds of pears is ...
$11.32
