Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
--- candles melted

--- time to melt
Required
The time since the first was lit
If 1 candle melts in 4 hours, 2 candles will melt in 8 hours.
i.e.



For the 3rd candle that has melted, 4 inches
First, calculate the fraction that melt



The time to melt is:



So, the required time is:


Convert to minutes



Answer:
x=11
Step-by-step explanation:
6x-3(x+8)=9
Using the distributive property, we can turn 6x-3(x+8)=9 into 6x-3x-24=9, which simplifies to 3x-24=9 by combining like terms. Now, if we add 24 to both sides, we get 3x=33. By dividing both sides by 3, we get x=11.
Check:
66-3*19=9
66-57 does in fact equal 9.
QR is congruent to PS
So if QR is 17.7 PS is 17.7
Answer 3.) PS equals 17.7
8*0=0 and 8+0=8
the answer is 8 and 0
