Answer:

chickens cost $8

ducks cost $5

Step-by-step explanation:

c= chicken cost

d =duck cost

50c + 30 d = 550

44c + 36d = 532


divide the first equation by 10

5c + 3d = 55

multiply it by -12

-60c -36c = -660

now add the modified first equation to the second equation

-60c -36c = -660

44c + 36d = 532

-------------------------

-16c    = -128

divide by -16

c = 8

a chicken costs $8

now lets find d

5c+3d = 55

5*8 + 3d = 55

40 + 3d = 55

subtract 40 from each side

3d = 15

divide by 3

d = 5

What is 3/ 4 of 6 / 7?
Vika [28.1K]
3/4 of 6/7.    The of means multiplication.

= 3/4  *  6/7.  2 into 4 is 2 and 2 into 6 is 3.
 = 3/2 * 3/7    No other number can divide, so we multiply out.
=9/14

That's the answer.

Lines d, e, and f are parallel. That means they have the same slope. Each of these lines has a slope of −3. Enter numbers to com
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Line d : y = -3x - 3

Line e : y = -3x - 2

Line f  : y= -3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The slope of each line is -3.

Now,

We know that,

Equation of line is represented by y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Now,

Given that,

Line d goes through (0, - 3) and (- 1, 0).

So,

y-intercept of Line d is -3

∴ we get

Equation of Line d is : y = -3x -3

Now,

Given that,

Line e goes through (-1, 2) and (0, -2).

So,

y-intercept of Line e is -2

∴ we get

Equation of Line e is : y = -3x - 2

Now,

Given that,

Line f goes through (0, 2) and (1, -1).

So,

y-intercept of Line e is 2

∴ we get

Equation of Line f is : y = -3x + 2

What is the solution to the following equation?<br><br> 5 + 3 (y - 4) = 4y +10
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

5 +3(y-4) = 4y +10

5 + 3y -12= 4y +10

-7 +3y = 4y + 10

3y - 4y = 10 + 7

-y = 17

y= -17
