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

Mr king is going to paint his house. The paint costs 21.99$ a gallon or 93.65$ for a 5 gallon can. What would be the unit price
vampirchik [111]
Divide 93.65 by the 5 gallons.

93.65/5= 18.73

If me.king bought the larger container, the unit price would be $18.73 per gallon. 

21.99-18.73= 3.26

The savings is $3.26 per gallon.

I hope this helps!

In a 30-60-90 triangle, what is the length of the hypotenuse when the shorter leg is 7 in?
Llana [10]
14 inches.  A 30-60-90 triangle has a set ratio for the sides which is x:x√3:2x for the sides opposite the corresponding angle. (30 = x, 60 = x√3, 90 =2x) the shortest side is the side opposite the 30-degree angle so x=7. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the 90-degree angle. they hypotenuse = 2x. Substitute x. 2(7)=14

Which expression is equivalent to 6x² - 7x-20 ?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

(3x+4)(2x−5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is,  6x2  its coefficient is  6 .

The middle term is,  -7x  its coefficient is  -7 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -20

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   6 • -20 = -120

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -120  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -7 .

     -120    +    1    =    -119

     -60    +    2    =    -58

     -40    +    3    =    -37

     -30    +    4    =    -26

     -24    +    5    =    -19

     -20    +    6    =    -14

     -15    +    8    =    -7    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -15  and  8

                    6x2 - 15x + 8x - 20

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   3x • (2x-5)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   4 • (2x-5)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (3x+4)  •  (2x-5)

            Which is the desired factorization
