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
Answer:
Kyle would save more using his 15% off of $1000 coupon.
Explanation:
15 ÷ 100 • 1000 = 150
1000 - 150 = $850
$150 is the amount the 15% coupon took off.
$850 is the amount Kyle will pay.
vs.
1000 - 80 = $920

Answer:
<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>
y = total distance left to cover
-mi/h = speed at wich he is covering ground
b = the total distance to cover from start to finish
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope Intercept form without other variables filled is shown like this with <em>mx </em>being the slope and <em>b </em>being the y intercept
<em>y = mx + b</em>
all we need to do is fill in known variables with hours multiplied by <em>x </em>represented as <em>m</em>...
<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>
note the negative symbol, this shows that the higher that miles an hour (mi/h) aka speed is, the more distance he will cover REDUCING the distance to cover faster meaning the line will slope DOWNWARD
<em>b</em> would be the the total distance that he has started with, meaning on the point where the line crosses the y axis, the number it crosses at will represent how much he has started with
