The answer is chicken $8, duck $5

x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck

<span>he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
</span><span>he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532

</span>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

Need #47 and #48 asap!!<br> 20 pts!!
sergey [27]

Answer:

47-Step-by-step explanation:

X=121 because they are vertical angles

48- first divide 96 by 6 together the surface area of each side which is equal 16 then to find the length and the width find the square root of 16 which is 4 because it is a cube the length/width/height are all equal to four. So do 4 x 4 x 4 to find the volume of one cube. Which is equal to 64 then multiple by 8 to get the total volume 512cm^3

What is the solution to the equation? (-9x+5)^1/2=(3+4x)1/2
Phoenix [80]
<span>x in (-oo:+oo)

((5-9*x)^1)/2 = ((4*x+3)^1)/2 // - ((4*x+3)^1)/2

((5-9*x)^1)/2-(((4*x+3)^1)/2) = 0

(5-9*x)/2-((4*x+3)/2) = 0

(5-9*x)/2+(-1*(4*x+3))/2 = 0

5-1*(4*x+3)-9*x = 0

2-13*x = 0

(2-13*x)/2 = 0

(2-13*x)/2 = 0 // * 2

2-13*x = 0

2-13*x = 0 // - 2

-13*x = -2 // : -13

x = -2/(-13)

x = 2/13

x = 2/13</span>
