She worked as a carpenter for 12 hours and as a blacksmith for 18 hours.
Assuming you mean she earned $20 as a carpenter and $25 as a blacksmith per hour, with a total of 30 hours for $690,
let c represent carpenter hours and b for blacksmith hours.
20c + 25b = 690
c + b = 30
Subtract b from each side so that c = 30 - b
Plug this value into the first equation
20(30 - b) + 25b = 690
600 - 20b + 25b = 690
600 + 5b = 690
5b = 90
b = 18
To find c, plug this value of b into the other equation
c + 18 = 30
c = 12
You have to use distributive property then you combine like terms
Answer: 27 candles.
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangular prism has a volume calculated by length x width x height.
In this case, the candles have a volume of 220 cm³.
If the company used 5940 cm³ of wax, to find how many candles they made, you just divide them:
You get 27 candles.

Answer:
-2-2√3, -2+2√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent one of the numbers. Then the other number is -4-x. We want the product to be -8:
x(-4-x) = -8
-4x -x^2 = -8 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x^2 +4x = 8 . . . . . . multiply by -1
x^2 +4x +4 = 12 . . . add 4 to complete the square
(x +2)^2 = 12
x +2 = ±√12 = ±2√3
x = -2±2√3
The two numbers are -2-2√3 ≈ -5.4641, and -2+2√3 ≈ 1.4641.
