A customer at a store paid $96 for 5 large candles and 7 small candles. At the same store a second customer paid $8 less than the first customer for 4 large candles and 8 smal candies Write a system that could be used find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y

The system that could be used find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, Y is given as:

5x + 7y = 96 Equation 1

4x + 8y = 88 Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question:

Let cost of:

large candles = x

Small candles = y

A customer at a store paid $96 for 5 large candles and 7 small candles.

Hence:

5x + 7y = 96 Equation 1

At the same store a second customer paid $8 less than the first customer for 4 large candles and 8 smal candies

Hence:

4x + 8y = $96 - $8

4x + 8y = 88 Equation 2

The system that could be used find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, Y is given as:

5x + 7y = 96 Equation 1

4x + 8y = 88 Equation 2

The equation is y=-4x+13

Solutions:

y=1/4-5 (4,-3)

y=mx+b

The new slope = -4/1x+b

-3=-4/1(4)+b

-3=-16+b

+16 +16

13=b

y=-4x+13
