Question

The cost of 3 large candles and 5 small candles is $6.40. the cost of 4 large candles and 6 small candles is $7.50. which pair of equations can be used to determine, t, the cost of a large candle, and s, the cost of a small candle?

a.
b.
c.
d.

Answer 1

t = large candles and s = small candles

3t + 5s = 6.40
4t + 6s = 7.50

^^ this would be ur system of equations

Answer 2

3t + 5s = 6.40

4t + 6s = 7.50

These two equations can be used to determine, t, the cost of a large candle, and s, the cost of a small candle.

Explanation:

Let the the letters t represents the cost of a large candle, and s represents the cost of a small candle.

The cost of 3 large candles and 5 small candles is $6.40

3t + 5s = 6.40

The cost of 4 large candles and 6 small candles is $7.50

4t + 6s = 7.50

These two equations can be used to determine, t, the cost of a large candle, and s, the cost of a small candle.
