You buy a brand new wax candle that stands 6 inches tall. Knowing that the rate at which the wax melts is approximately 1/100 of an inch per minute, write a linear equation that could model this situation.

y=-1/100x+6 or y=-1x+600

Step-by-step explanation:

6 inches is the Y intercept (600,0) if measuring by 1/100 or (6,0)

Since the wax is melting, the slope  is going to be negative

y=mx+6 or y=mx+600 either is fine and would yield the same results

y=-.01x+6, y=1/100x+6 or y=-1x+600

To explainn why 6 and 600 are both fine, 6 is measuring with full inches while the 600 is measuring with .01 inches. One graph will be full numbers while the other will be decimals.

answer: i guess 105 degrees?

step-by-step explanation:

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
