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.
