you are making gift baskets.each basket will contain three different kinds of candles: tapers,pillars, and jar candles. Tapers cost $1 each, pillars cost $4 each, and jar candles cost $6 each. You put 8 candles costing a total of $24 in each basket, and you include as many tapers as pillars and jar candles combined.

Question

write a system of equation that represents this situation

Answer 1

"You put 8 candles"
T+P+J=8

"costing a total of $24 "
1T+4P+6J = 24

"as many tapers as pillars and jar candles combined"
T=P+J

Answer 2

I know this was posted when I was 4 years old but this was on my math homework and by using elimination the final answer would be 4 tapers, 2 pillars, and 2 jar candles.
