Solve for x:
8x – 3 = 5 (2x + 1)
A. x= -4
B. x= -2
C. x=1
D. = 9

A

Step-by-step explanation: Simplify 5(2x+1) into 10x+5. bring it to the other side; -2x-8=0. -2x=8 divide 8 by -2 to get x alone. x=-4

A) h= 201-6t

B) Candle B is 290 millimeters tall and burns at 5 millimeters per hour

C) Candle A burns faster because it has a rate of burning that is 1 millimeter faster per hour than Candle B (coefficient in front of t)

D) 58 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Candle A Went down 24 in 4 hours so thats 6 millimeters per hour.

A) h= 201-6t

Candle A Went down 24 in 4 hours so thats 6 millimeters per hour (how i found the coeffiecient in front of t.)

B) Candle B is 290 millimeters tall and burns at 5 millimeters per hour

(Just interpreted the given equation)

C) Candle A burns faster because it has a rate of burning that is 1 millimeter faster per hour than Candle B, although candle B is still 50% larger than candle A at the beginning of burning.

D) 290=5t

t=58 hours

It would take 58 hours for Candle B to burn down completely, from the given equation.
