Answer:
To factor something out you've got to divide, so you would take 5x+40 and divide it all by 5
So, 5x/5= 1x
And, 40/5= 8
Your answer is now x+8 when factored
My answer is reasonable because that is an average hourly rate for minimum wage

Answer:
1)
2) 12 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
In this case:
(The height of the candle in inches)
(The time in hours)
Then, we can rewrite it:
Based on the information provided in the exercise, the line passes through these points:
and 
Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula
:

Now we need to substitute the slope and one of the points into
and then solve for "b":

Substituting values, we get that the a linear equation that models the relationship between the heigth of the candle and the time, is:
2) We must substitute
into the linear equation
in order to find the height of the candle after burning 8 hours:
