First keep in mind that the center is 5 inches...let L and R be the left and right positions of the two flames...
L=h and R=10-1.5h where h is in hours....
The two flames meet when L=R so we can say:
h=10-1.5h add 1.5h to both sides
2.5h=10 divide both sides by 2.5
h=4
So the flames will meet in five hours, using either original equation we can find this position, I'll use L=h..
L=4
So the position of the flames is 4" from the end. The questions ask how far this point is from the center so:
5-4=1"
So the flames meet 1 inch from the center.
That would be d.
Remember, the distributive property is a(b+c) = ab +ac!
Hope this helps.

Answer:
<A = 44
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle is 180 degrees
(x+59) + (x+51) + 84 = 180 >> add everything on the left side
2x + 194 = 180 >> subtract both sides by 194
2x = -14 >> divide both sides by 2 to get x alone
x = -7
since you are finding A<, substitute
<A = x + 51
<A = (-7) + 51
<A = 44
