A twelve inch candle and an 18 inch candle are lit at 6pm. The 12 inch candle burns 0.5 inches every hour. The 18 inch candle burns two inches every hour. At what time will the two candles be the same height? Identify the equation that models this situation.

• 12 - 0.5x = 18 - 2x

• 12 + 0.5x = 18 + 2x

• 12x - 0.5 = 18x - 2

• 12 - 6x = 18 - 2x

An airplane was 25,000 feet above the ground and began 

DESCENDING at a rate of 1500 feet per minute.  

Select an equation that models the plane’s 

altitude (height), y, after x number of minutes go by.

• y = 1,500 + 25,000x

• y = 1,500 - 25,000x

• y = 25,000 + 1,500x

• y = 25,000 - 1,500x

Answer explanation

Altitude = 25,000 ft - 1,500 ft per minute

y = 25,000 - 1,500x
