I'm going to say C. 4 wins, 1 loss
Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
A candle is 4 inches tall and burns at the rate of 0.6 inch per hour.
i.e. after 1 hour height of candle=4-0.6 inches
After 2 hours height of candle=4-0.6-0.6 inches
after x hours height of candle=4-0.6x
Also,
If the height of the candle after x hours is 1.5 inches
⇒ 4-0.6x=1.5
⇒ 0.6x=4-1.5
⇒ 0.6x=2.5
⇒ x=2.5/0.6
⇒ x=4.166
Hence, equation to represent the situation. is:
4-0.6x=1.5
and the expected number of hours in which the candle melted to 1.5 inches is:
4.166 hours
Answer:
Each shirt costs 12 dollars.
Each pair of pants cost 40 dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let x represent the shirts </u>
<u>Let y represent the pair of jeans</u>
10x + 4y = $280
12x + 5y = $344
<u>Use elimination method to eliminate y</u>
• Multiply the entire first equation by 5.
• Multiply the second entire equation by -4.
5(10x +4y = $280)
-4(12x + 5y = $344)
50x + 20y = 1400
-48x -20y = -1376
2x = 24
x = 12
Each shirt costs 12 dollars.
<u>Solve for how much each pair of jeans costs.</u>
10(12) + 4y = 280
120 + 4y = 280
4y = 160
y = 40
