Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Question</em>

  • <em>Lisa lit a candle with a height of 8 inches. When lit, this candle loses 10% of its original  height every hour. </em>
  • <em>Please complete the following sentence by writing the number in the blank.   Until the candle has been burning for at least _______ hours, the height of Jennifer's candle will be more than 7 inches.</em>

<u>Candle looses 10% of 8 inches, it equals:</u>

  • 8*0.1 = 0.8 inches an hour

<u>Let x be required time, then:</u>

  • 8 - 0.8x > 7
  • 0.8x <  8 - 7
  • 0.8x  < 1
  • x  < 1/0.8
  • x  <  1.25
  • or 1 hour 15 minutes

Hoochie [10]
<span>There are 4 long rows and 5 short rows in the theater. x represents the number of chairs in each long row and y represents the number of chairs in each short row.

So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows= 4x
Total number of chairs in 5 short rows = 5y
Total number of chairs in the theater on a normal day = 4x + 5y

When 2 chairs are added to each long row, the number of chairs will change to (x+2).
So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows will be = 4(x+2)

When 3 chairs are added to each short row, the number of chairs will change to (y+3)
So, total number of chairs in 5 short rows will be = 5(y+3)

Thus, total number of chairs in the theater in rush day = 4(x+2) + 5(y+3)
= 4x + 8 + 5y + 15
= 4x + 5y + 23

Thus we can say the number of chairs increase by 23 as compared to a normal day.
