Answer:
The heights are the same after 4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The red candle burns at a rate of 7/10 inches per hour. In t hours, (7/10)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 8 - (7/10)t.
The blue candle burns at a rate of 1/5 inch per hour. In t hours, (1/5)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 6 - (1/5)t.
You need to find the time, t, when their heights are equal.
8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t
Multiply both sides by 10 (the LCD).
80 - 7t = 60 - 2t
-5t = -20
t = 4
The heights are the same after 4 hours.
Answer: 75
Step-by-step explanation: -14 + 98 =
Given the equation 4(3b + 2)² = 64,
dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we have
(3b + 2)² = 16 and getting the square root of both sides,
(3b + 2) = 4 and (3b + 2) = -4
We can solve for b for each equation and have
3b = 2 | 3b = -6
b = 2/3 | b = -2
Therefore, the values of b are 2/3 and -2 and from the choices, the answer is <span>A: b = 2/3 and b = -2.</span>
