What is the least common denominator that will allow you to combine the constant terms? 10 21 35 or 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

LCM of the constant terms

Collect like terms

The constant terms are on the right-hand side

To combine them, we simply take the LCM of the denominator, i.e. 7 and 3

The prime factorization of 3 and 7 are:

So:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8
