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.

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

10.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of hours she babysat last week subtract 5 from 11 which is 7 hours. 7 hours is equal to 2/3 of the many hours. If she babysat h hours last week then solve for h using 2/3 h = 7.

Solve the equation by multiplying each side by the reciprocal.

3/2 * 2/3h = 7*3/2

h = 21/2

h = 10.5 hours
