Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.
The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.
The system is
6h + 1d = 40
4h + 3d = 36
The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,
1d = 40 - 6h.
Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,
4h + 3d = 36 becomes
4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!
4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and
-14h = -84 so
h = 6.
That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:
1d = 40 - 6(6) and
d = 40 - 36 so
d = 4.
That means that each duck costs $4.

Answer:
We have been given that a car can travel 476 miles on 14 gallons of gas and we are asked to write an equation relating the distance d to the number of gallons g.
We can set an equation as distance traveled is directly proportional to number of gallons used in travelling that distance.
Now we will find out K(number of miles traveled in one gallon of gas) by substituting our given values in this equation.
Therefore, we can see that car travels 34 miles in one gallon of gas.
Now we can use this information to find out how many gallons of gas does this car need to travel 578 miles.
Let us divide number of miles to be traveled by number of miles traveled in one gallon of gas to find out number of gallons of gas needed.
Therefore, car need 17 gallons of gas to travel 578 miles.
