On a snowy winters eve two candles are lit at the exact same time. A 18-inch candle and a 21-inch candle are lit at the exact same time. The 18-inch candle burns 2 inches every hour. The 21-inch candle burns 3 inches every hour. Create a system of equations using the information

y=21-3x  and y=18-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we have candle A, which is 21 inches and burns 3 inches every hour. in slope-intercept form, the hours would be the x, the 21 is our y intercept. So the first equatio would be y=-3x+21 (negative slope, because the height of the candle is going down). Candle b, which is 18 inches, burns away 2 inches each hour. We can make -2 the slope (negative 2, since the candle is  being burned away, not being added to), and the 18 our y intercept. So the two equations would be

y=21-3x

and

y=18-2x

hope this helps!

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.

y=3n + 1

step-by-step explanation:

this is wrong because it says the second number is one less and i added one instead
