Solving the equation :  for y we get

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for y the equation:

We need to find value of y

Solving:

Taking LCM of a, 1 we get a

Multiply both sides by a, a will be cancelled on left side

Taking y common from left side:

Divide both sides by a+1

So, Solving the equation :  for y we get

step-by-step explanation:

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
