A red candle is 8 inches tall and burns at a rate of 710 inches per hour. A blue candle is 6 inches tall and burns at a rate of 15 inches per hour.
After how many hours will both candles be the same height?

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

55% are girls and 45% are boys : ) hope this
