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

Help plz i’ll give extra points : )
Anni [7]

Answer:

y = 6/5x - 24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points we are given are (4, 0) and (9, 6). First, find the slope.

m = 6 - 0/9 - 4 = 6/5

Next, insert the values into the point-slope form formula. I'll use (4, 0) as the coordinates.

y - 0 = 6/5(x - 4)

y = 6/5x - 24/5

Building a model of an object "to scale" means that the height of the object is ____________ to the height of the model.
Zina [86]
The height of the object is EQUAL to the height of the model. We can see this in advertising when for example cereal is being advertised and on the box is says "actual size" because the cereal is drawn to scale.
