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.
5 loaves* (176 slices/ 8 loaves)= 110 slices.
(Note that the unit cancels out so you get the answer)
There are 110 slices of bread in 5 loaves~
