3ax-8a=b-18x
3ax+18x=b+8a
3x(a+6)=b+8a
3x=(b+8a)/(a+6)
x=(b+8a)/3(a+6)
3a*(b+8a)/3(a+6)=b-18*(b+8a)/3(a+6)
a(b+8a)/(a+6)=b-6(b+8a)/(a+6)
a(b+8a)=b(a+6)-6(b+8a)
ab+8a^2=ab+6b-6b-48a
ab+8a^2=ab-48a
8a^2=-48a
8a^2+48a=0
8a(a+6)=0 so a=0,-6
0=b-18x or -18x+48=b-18x
-b=-18x or 48=b
let b=18 if a =-6

Answer:
48 to 32 8 to 4 4 to 2 24 to 16
Step-by-step explanation:
L(t)=9-0.5t
t=time in hours,
L(t)=length of candle at time t
(A) substitute t=1,2,3,4,5,6 respectively to get
(1,8.5)
(2,8)
(3,7.5)
(4,7)
(5,6.5)
(6,6)
(B) it is a function because none of the x-values duplicate, (nor the y-values).
(C) If the rate changes to 0.45 "/hr, the relation is still linear.
All linear function with finite slope are functions.
