Answer:
balloons= 9
candles= 8
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of balloons be x
and candles be y
So
15x+8y=192----------1
x+y=17--------------2
from 2, x= 17-y
put x= 17-y in 1
15( 17-y)+8y=192
255-15y+8y=192
solve for y
-7y=192-255
-7y=-63
x=63/7
x=9
put x= 9 in 1
9+y=17
y= 17-9
y=8.
Note: In option A, it should be "+" instead of "(".

Answer: The second option (160 cm)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You can obtain the perimeter of a quadrilateral by adding the lenghts of the sides.
2. You know that the ratio of the side lengths is 3:3:5:8 and the perimeter is 380 centimeters.
3. Therefore, you can write the following expression, where x is an integer:

4. Solve for x:

5. Therefore, the longest side is:
(160 cm)
