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
Can i please get an image and i will be glad to help :)
Answer:
15/3 + (6.5 + 4.2) - 0.6 = 15.1
Step-by-step explanation:
You can first reduce the fraction to 5 when you multiply by 3, then calculate what's in the parenthesis. So now you have 5 + 10.7 - 0.6, then just solve from left to right. Hope this helps
It’s -4 because it’s a negative slope first of all cause it’s going down, second you can see it goes down 4 then right 1 so the answer would be -4 :)
