Answer:

5t = 4b

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a proportional relationship for b in terms of t

From the question, b represent the amount of candle burned away in a given time t hours

From what we have initially, 13 3/4 burnt in 11 hours

So in 1 hour, the amount burnt will be;

55/4/11 = 5/4

5/4 inches of candle burnt in 1 hour

5/4 inches = b/t

So b inches burnt in t hours

5/4 = b/t

5t = 4b

Answer:

#1. Identity #2. 0 #3. No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

#1.

5y + 2 = (1/2)(10y+4)

5y + 2 = 5y + 2

This would be identity as the equation of the left and right are the same. This is not to be confused with no solution(explained below).

#2.

0.5b + 4 = 2(b+2)

0.5b + 4 = 2b + 4

0.5 b - 2b = 0

b = 0

#3.

-3x + 5 = -3x + 10

This equation has no solution because when you try to bring the -3x to one side, the x variable itself gets eliminated. So, how is it different from identity? Well in the first equation, it is true that when we try to bring the 5y one side it eliminates the y variable, however, that is also true for the constants(since if we try to bring the 2 to one side, it will be 2-2 which will equal 0, thus eliminating each other), but in this case, even if we remove the x, the constants will not equal 0, thus it will have no solution.

Kumar the painter has 17 gallons of paints. He puts it into 6 buckets so each has the same amount. How many gallons are in each
9966 [12]

Answer:

17/6 or 2 5/6 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

First, do 17/6= 2 5/6.

That's really all, but I can't help you with the number line because of no attachment, but just put it on the part where it says 17/6 or 2 5/6.

Hope this helped!
