A 12-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out. As the burned length of the candle increases from 4 to 7.5 in

ches, the remaining length of the candle varies from inches to inches. Suppose b represents the burned length of the candle in inches (or the number of inches that have burned from the candle since it was lit). Write an expression in terms of b that represents the remaining length of the candle (in inches).

Answer:

The remaining length of the candle varies from 8 inches to 4.5 inches.

The required expression is: r=12-b

Where, b represents the burned length and r represents the remaining length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.  

A 12-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out.

The length of the candle is 12 in.

The burned length of the candle is 4 in.

That means the remaining length is 12 - 4 = 8 in

The burned length of the candle is 7.5 in.

That means the remaining length is 12 - 7.5 = 4.5 in

Hence, the remaining length of the candle varies from 8 inches to 4.5 inches.

Suppose b represents the burned length of the candle in inches (or the number of inches that have burned from the candle since it was lit) and r represents the the remaining length of the candle (in inches).

The required expression is: r=12-b

Find the equation of a line which is parallel to y= 2/5 x + 17 and passes through (-15,12)
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

y = 2/5x + 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line will have the same slope of 2/5.

Using the point-slope form of a line:

y - 12 = 2/5(x - -15)

y - 12 = 2/5(x + 15)

y = 2/5x + 6 + 12

y = 2/5x + 18.

The shortest side of a right triangle measures 13 m. the lengths of the other two sides are consecutive integers. Find the lengt
mariarad [96]
So, the shortest side is 13, the other two fellows are two consecutive values.... ok... let's say the other leg is "a", a consecutive value to that will be a+1, so the hypotenuse is "a + 1" then

check the picture below

and surely you'd know what "a" is
