3x + 2y = 10 ....multiply by -4
12x + 5y = 25
-------------------
-12x - 8y = -40 (result of multiplying by -4)
12x + 5y = 25
------------------add
-3y = - 15
y = -15/-3
y = 5
3x + 2y = 10
3x + 2(5) = 10
3x + 10 = 10
3x = 10 - 10
3x = 0
x = 0
solution is (0,5)
Answer: the cost of one chicken is $8
The cost of one duck is $5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one chicken.
Let y represent the cost of one duck.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550. It means that
50x + 30y = 550- - - - - - - - - - - 1
This month, he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532. It means that
44x + 36y = 532- - - - - - - - - - - 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 44 and equation 2 by 50, it becomes
2200x + 1320y = 24200
2200x + 1800y = 26600
Subtracting, it becomes
- 480y = - 2400
y = - 2400/- 480
y = 5
Substituting y = 5 Intl equation 1, it becomes
50x + 30 × 5 = 550
50x + 150 = 550
50x = 550 - 150
50x = 400
x = 400/50
x = 8
Answer:
1
