Answer:
19 birds
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I wrote my two equations:
5.5x +8.5y = 291.5
x + y = 41
Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!

Answer:
cost of one cupcake = $2.75
cost of one brownie = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c = number of cupcakes
Let b = number of brownies
Equation 1: 5c + 2b = 16.25
Equation 2: 7c + 6b = 26.75
Multiply equation 1 by 3:
⇒ 15c + 6b = 48.75
Now subtract equation 2 from this equation to eliminate 6b:
⇒ 8c = 22
Divide both sides by 8:
⇒ c = 2.75
Substitute c = 2.75 into one of the original equations and solve for b:
⇒ 5(2.75) + 2b = 16.25
⇒ 13.75 + 2b = 16.25
⇒ 2b = 2.5
⇒ b = 1.25
Therefore, cost of one cupcake = $2.75 and cost of one brownie = $1.25

Answer:
a) Job A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Time, t = 2000 hours per year
Job A:
Salary = $13 per hour
Job B:
Salary = $11 per hour
Healfh insurance = $3400 per year
= $3400/2000
= $ 1.7 per hour
B:. Mb = $11 × 2000 = $22000
Health insurance costs 3400$ per year so while we are working our job A we have: so $11.3 × 2000 = $22600. So on job A we earn $600 per year more than on job B.
