Divide botoh sides by 7
x-12=-3
add 12 to both sides
x+12-12=12-3
x+0=9
x=9
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:
the median is 43
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x+14=x²-3x+12
add 2x on both side:
14=x²-x+12
subtract 14 on both side:
x²-x-2=0
factor: (x-2)(x+1)=0
x=2 or x=-1
