Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose two angles ∠A and ∠B of measures x and y

A and B are complementary means x + y = 90

the measure of B is 44 times the measure of A means y = 44x

then we have to solve the system

x + y = 90

y = 44x

then

x + 44x = 90

then

45x = 90

then x = 90/45

= 2

therefore

y = 44×(2)

= 88

At a historical landmark, candles are used to simulate an authentic atmosphere. A volunteer is currently putting new candles in

Answer:

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of candles that a small candleholder holds.

y is the number of candles that a large candleholder holds.

24 small candle holders and 3 large candle holders, using a total of 87 candles.

This means that

$24x + 3y = 87$

Simplifying by 3

$8x + y = 29$

$y = 29 - 8x$

14 small candle holders and 7 large candle holders, for a total of 77 candles.

This means that $14x + 7y = 77$

Simplifying by 7

$2x + y = 11$

$y = 11 - 2x$

Since $y = 29 - 8x$

$11 - 2x = 29 - 8x$

$6x = 18$

$x = \frac{18}{6}$

$x = 3$

$y = 29 - 8x = 29 - 8*3 = 29 - 24 = 5$

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.
