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.

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
