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

Pencils come in packages of 10.Erasers come in packages of 12. Phillips wants to purpose the smallest number of pencils and eras
balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Packages of pencils = 6

Packages of erasers = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Pencils = 10/package

Erasers = 12 / package

Process

Find the least common factor of 10 and 12

                                    10     12     2

                                     5       6     2

                                     5       3     3

                                     5        1    5

                                      1

LCF = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

Finally divide 60 by the number of pencils or erasers in each package

Packages of pencils = 60/10 = 6

Packages of erasers = 60/12 = 5

Use this formula to find all the solutions of the equation. (Round terms to four decimal places)
Misha Larkins [42]
I might be misreading something here but if:

x^5+243=0  subtract 243 from both sides

x^5=-243  raise both sides to the 1/5 power  (or take the fifth root of both sides)

x=-3

So there is only one solution, x=-3
