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:
I got (1,2).
Step-by-step explanation:
Process of elimination:
Multiply the second equation by 3 to get same terms, subtract and solve for Y to get 2.
Plug 2 into second equation for Y to get x=1
(1,2)
Answer:
7 1/2
Before simplification: 15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
first step is making these into improper fractions for example 6 1/8 would equal 49/8 because 6*8=48 and add the 1/8 to get 49/8 then do the same with the 3 1/4 make them into 8ths. so it would be 3 2/8 then 26/8 now subtract 49-26 to get 23/8. now simplify to get 2 7/8
0.1 i guess ok so try my question but im not 100 sure its correct
