Answer: I Really understand
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 1,092
Step-by-step explanation:
Duck eggs : chicken heads =
2 : 7
Number of duck eggs = 312
Number of chicken eggs = x
Duck eggs : chicken heads = 312 : x
Equate both ratios
2 : 7 = 312 : x
2/7 = 312/x
Cross product
2 * x = 7 * 312
2x = 2,184
x = 2,184 / 2
= 1,092
x = 1,092
2x + 3y = 40
+
-2x + 2y = 20
___________ Adding both equations
0x + 5y = 60
____________
5y = 60
y = 60/5 = 12
y = 12.
Since we have gotten y =12, and the only option with that is option D.
So we don't have to solve for x.
The answer is D.
