A 15-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out. Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches) and let r represent the remaining length of the candle (in inches). a. Write a formula that expresses r in terms of b. When 3.1 inches have burned from the candle, the remaining length of the candle is inches.
b. Graph the relationship between a and b

Formula that express r in terms of b is

Remaining length of candle is 11.9 inches

Given :

A 15-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out

Let b represent the burned length   and let r represent the remaining length  

We need to write the formula

remaining length = initial length - burned length

When 3.1 inches have burned from the candle, the remaining length of the candle is inches.

b is 3.1

remaining length inches

now we graph the relationship

Graph is attached below.

(a)r=15-b

11.9 Inches

(b)See attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the candle =15 inch

Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches)

Let r represent the remaining length of the candle (in inches).

Therefore:

(a) r+b=15

r=15-b

When b=3,1 Inches

Remaining Length, r=15-3.1=11.9 Inches

(b)The graph showing te relationship between r and b is shown below.

r is plotted on the y-axis while b is plotted on the x-axis as labelled.

assuming you mean addition: addition and subtraction are reverse operations.
