The cost of six hens and one duck at the university poultry farm is GH₵40. While four hens and three ducks cost GH₵36. What is t

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.

The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.

The system is

6h + 1d = 40

4h + 3d = 36

The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,

1d = 40 - 6h.

Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,

4h + 3d = 36 becomes

4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!

4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and

-14h = -84 so

h = 6.

That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:

1d = 40 - 6(6) and

d = 40 - 36 so

d = 4.

That means that each duck costs $4.

Math 8: Linear Functions, Part 2

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{1. y + 5 = -4(x - 3); \qquad 2. y - 8 = x + 1}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

The point-slope formula for a straight line is

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)

x₁ = 3; y₁ = -5; m = -4

Substitute the values

$\boxed{\textbf{y + 5 = -4(x - 3)}}$

The diagram shows the graph of equation 1 (red) with slope -4 passing through (3,-5).

Question 2

x₁ = -1; y₁ = 8; m = 1

Substitute the values

$\boxed{\textbf{y - 8 = x + 1}}$

The diagram shows the graph of equation 2 (green) with slope 1 passing through (-1,8).

Y=4x-6 and passes through point 8,12

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Slope of required line if both lines are parallel: y=4x-20

Slope of required line if both lines are perpendicular: y=-1/4x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find equation of line while we are given another line having equation y=4x-6 and passes through point (8,12)

<u><em>Note: Since it is not given if the required line is parallel or perpendicular to the given line. I will solve for both cases.</em></u>

If Both lines are parallel the equation of new line will be:

We need to find slope and y-intercept to write equation of new line.

When lines are parallel there slopes are same

So, slope of given line y=4x-6 is 4 (Compare with general equation y=mx+b, m is slope so m=4)

Slope of new line is: m=4

Now finding y-intercept

Using slope m=4 and point (8,12) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\12=4(8)+b\\12=32+b\\b=12-32\\b=-20$

y-intercept of new line is: b=-20

Equation of required line having slope m=4 and y-intercept b=-20 is

$y=mx+b\\y=4x-20$

If Both lines are perpendicular the equation of new line will be:

We need to find slope and y-intercept to write equation of new line.

When lines are perpendicular there slopes are opposite of each other

So, slope of given line y=4x-6 is 4 (Compare with general equation y=mx+b, m is slope so m=4)

Slope of new line is: m=-1/4

Now finding y-intercept

Using slope m=-1/4 and point (8,12) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\12=-\frac{1}{4} (8)+b\\12=-2+b\\b=12+2\\b=14$

y-intercept of new line is: b=14

Equation of required line having slope m=-1/4 and y-intercept b=14 is

$y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{1}{4} x+14$

Verify the property: a ×( b+c ) = ( a×b ) + ( a×c ) by taking a = 3/5 , b = -2 , c = 10/13

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

This is the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the distributive property to allocate a number outside of the parentheses to inside the parentheses.

For this example, they distributed a to both b and c making it a*b + a*c

This will result in the same answer:

3/5(-2 + 10/13) = 3/5*-2 + 3/5*10/13

3/5(-1.23..) = -6/5 + 30/65 (..= approx)

approximately- 0.74 = -0.74
