Answer:

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 17x+2y=46     (1)

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

8x+2y=28      (2)

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

Subtractijng the two equations we get:

9x=18

\Rightarrow x=2

Substitute x=2 in equation(2) we get:8(2)+2y=28

2y=12

\Rightarrow y=6

So, the number of candles will hold 2 candles

And large candle holder will hold 6 candles.

Solve the following exponential equations.<br> 2(4^x )+ 4^(x+1 )= 342
Cloud [144]

Answer:

  x ≈ 2.91644500708

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be simplified to ...

  2(4^x) +4(4^x) = 342

  6(4^x) = 342

  4^x = 57

Taking logarithms, we get ...

  x = log₄(57) = log(57)/log(4)

  x ≈ 2.91644500708
