Answer:
4 Hours
Step-by-step explanation:
we will set up two linear equations first by taking the initial height if each candle and subtracting the rate they burn at times our input variable of time (x) equal to height (y)
So, 8-7/10x=y and 6-1/5x=y
then, because both equations equal y you can set them equal to each other so
8-7/10x=6-1/5x
Finally, solve for x
8-7/10x=6-1/5x
subtract 6 from both sides
2-7/10x=-1/5x
add 7/10 x to both sides (1/5x=2/10x)
2=5/10x
simplify
2=1/2x
x=4
1/3x - 5 = 12
1/3x = 12 + 5
1/3x = 17
x = 17 : 1/3
x = 51 (answer D)
----------------------------
Replace y with 0 and solve for x.
Exact Form: x = 3 + √2 , 3 −√2
Decimal Form: x = 4.41421356, 1.58578643
It is C and D
Just substitute (-3) wherever you see x
(-3)^2 -2(-3) +3= 9+6+3=18 ( SORRY IF IM WRONG OR DID IT WRONG?? )
