Hello there, my fellow human being!
So, the chicken costs $8 and the duck costs $5, here's why.

Let's say x is the cost of a chicken while y is the cost of a duck.
We can make two linear equations using the information above.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y= 550
This month, he sold 44 chicken and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532

50x/10 + 30y/10 = 440/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4

5x + 3y = 44
11x + 9y = 133

So, now that we have our answer simplified, we have to use elimination to solve this system of equations. But, first we need to make sure that at least one of our variables is able to be canceled out.
Let's multiply this equation by -3.
(5x + 3y = 44) * -3.

-15x-9y=-165.

11x + 9y = 133
-15x - 9y = -165
______________
-4x/4 = -32/4
x = 8
11x + 9y = 133
11(8) + 9y = 133
88 + 9y = 133
-88 -88
________________
9y/9 = 45/9
y = 5.

Answer:

It's the one under the one you have selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

7:2

14:4

28:8

56:16

Divide the first number by 7 then multiply it by 2.

Example: 56/7=8, 8*2=16 so it's correct.

Answer:

{8, 24, 72, 216, 648}

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient of consecutive terms is always the same, that is, each term is the previous term multiplied by the common ratio.

In this question:

First element is 8, common ratio of 3. So

Second term: 8*3 = 24

Third term: 24*3 = 72

Fourth term: 72*3 = 216

Fifth term: 216*3 = 648

So the answer is {8, 24, 72, 216, 648}
