Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using elimination, and fill in the blanks. at a historical landmark, candles are used to simulate an authentic atmosphere. a volunteer is currently putting new candles in the candle holders. on the east side, he replaced candles in 17 small candle holders and 2 large candle holders, using a total of 46 candles. on the west side, he replaced the candles in 8 small candle holders and 2 large candle holders, for a total of 28 candles. how many candles does each candle holder hold? each small candleholder holds candles, and each large one holds candles. submit

The number of candles will hold 2 candles

And large candle holder will hold 6 candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candles  small candle holder have x

And the number of candles large candle holder have y

So, according to the information given in the question:

17 small candle holders means 17 x

and 2 large candle holders means 2y

using a total of 46 candles means     (1)

Similarly, 8 small candle holders and 2 large candle holders, for a total of 28 candles gives:

     (2)

We will solve equation (1) and (2) by elimination method:

Subtractijng the two equations we get:

Substitute x=2 in equation(2) we get:

So, the number of candles will hold 2 candles

And large candle holder will hold 6 candles.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.  

square pyramid

step-by-step explanation:

square prism looks like nothing like that

triangular prism has a rectangular base instead of a square base

tetrahedron has a triangular base
