Answer: each chicken costs $8.

Each duck costs $5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine the amount for each chicken and each duck.

Let x represent the cost per chicken.

Let y represent the cost per duck.

Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550. This is expressed as

50x + 30y = 550- - - - -- - - - - - 1

This month, he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532. This means that

44x + 36y = 532- - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 44 and equation 2 by 50, it becomes

2200x + 1320y = 24200

2200x + 1800y = 26600

Subtracting, it becomes

- 480y = - 2400

y = - 2400/ - 480

y = 5

Substituting y = 5 into equation 1, it becomes

50x + 30 × 5 = 550

50x + 150 = 550

50x = 550 - 150 = 400

x = 400/50

x = 8

Answer:

sorry im not sure about the answer but this is how you figure it out

Step-by-step explanation:

50a+30b=550

after you simplify = 5a+3b=55

44a+36b=532

after you simplify=11a+9b=133

then you try to find a number

5a+3b=55

then you have to find different possibilities of a and b and if it can fit into both equations then it is correct

If cot theta = -2, find the value of cot theta + cot (theta -pi) + cot (theta-2pi)
nika2105 [10]

Given:

\cot \theta = -2

To find:

The value of \cot \theta +\cot (\theta -\pi)+\cot(\theta -2\pi).

Solution:

We know that,

\cot (\theta -n\pi)=\cot \theta         ...(i)

Where n is an integer.

We have,

\cot \theta +\cot (\theta -\pi)+\cot(\theta -2\pi)

Using (i), it can be written as

\cot \theta +\cot (\theta -\pi)+\cot(\theta -2\pi)=\cot \theta +\cot \theta +\cot \theta

\cot \theta +\cot (\theta -\pi)+\cot(\theta -2\pi)=3\cot \theta

It is given that \cot \theta = -2.

\cot \theta +\cot (\theta -\pi)+\cot(\theta -2\pi)=3(-2)

\cot \theta +\cot (\theta -\pi)+\cot(\theta -2\pi)=-6

Therefore, the value of the given function expression is -6.

State a true conclusion.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The conclusion is "Plane R and Plane S form a line if they intersect."

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided statements.

1) If two planes intersect, their intersection is a line.

2) Plane Rand plane S intersect.

  • If two points lie in a plane, then the line joining them lies in that plane.
  • If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line.

For better understanding refer the figure:

There are two planes R and S, which intersect at the line l.

Since the given two planes intersect, the using the above fact we can say that their intersection is a line.

Thus, the conclusion is "Plane R and Plane S form a line if they intersect."
