Answer: chicken $8, duck $5
Explanation:
x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck
he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
50x + 30y = 550 divide by 10
44x + 36y = 550 divide by 4
______________
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 550/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
______________
5x + 3y = 55
Multiply by (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
5x * (-3) + 3y * (-3) = 55 * (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
-15x - 9y = -165
11x + 9y = 133
______________
Sum up:
-4x + 0y = -32
-4x = -32
x = -32/-4
x = 8
Since 5x + 3y = 55 and x = 8, then:
5 * 8 + 3y = 55
40 + 3y = 55
3y = 55 - 40
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5
Answer:
Cross section
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross section refers to the new two dimensional face exposed when we slice through a three dimensional objects.
It can also be the surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something, especially at right angles to an axis.
Cross section is the plane surface(two-dimensional objects) formed by cutting across a solid shape (three-dimensional shape) especially perpendicular to its longest axis.
Answer:
-3 , 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum = - 6
Product = -27
Factors = 3, -9
x² - 6x-27 = 0
x² + 3x - 9x - 9*3 = 0
x(x + 3) - 9(x + 3) = 0
(x + 3) (x - 9) = 0
x +3 = 0 ; x - 9 = 0
x = - 3 ; x = 9
Solution: x = -3 , 9
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming both players can answer the same question, the minimum number of questions is the smallest number that when multiplied by either 0.60 or 0.80 yields a whole number.
Let x be the number of questions, solving by trial and error:
Therefore, the minimum number of questions in the game is 5.
