I already answered this question, if you look back in your questions you should find this answered along with another one. I'll do it again just in case you don't find it.

Answer:

{y,x} = {-4,-2}

Expanation:

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] y = 2x

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]

[2] -2•(2x) - 8x = 24

[2] - 12x = 24

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] 12x = - 24

[2] x = - 2

// By now we know this much :

y = 2x

x = -2

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = 2(-2) = -4

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.

Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10

Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.

Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21

Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.

y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
