B because of the corresponding angles therom
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
{3,4,5,6} should be the answer
-2.8 • -2.8 • -2.8 • -2.8 • -2.8 • -2.8
=481.890
