Answer:

The number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises are 23 and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises are 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Old Mc Donald raises ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 100 heads and 354 feet.

Let the number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises be 'x' and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises be 'y'.

So, according to the question;

  • The first condition states that the animals have a total of 100 heads, that means;

                                   x+y=100

                                    x=100-y  -------------------- [equation 1]

{because one head of a duck and one head of cow}

  • The second condition states that the animals have a total of 354 feet, that means;

                                   2x+4y=354

                                   x+2y=177   --------------- [equation 2]

{because there are two feet of a duck and four feet of cow}

Now, putting the value of x in equation 2 we get;

                                  100-y+2y=177

                                  y=177-100

                                    y = 77 cows

Putting this value of y in equation 1 we get;

                                 x = 100 - y

                                 x = 100 - 77 = 23 ducks

Hence, the number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises are 23 and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises are 77.

C) The +10 is because you already have 10 coins, that will not change. The 6x is because with each passing day, the number of coins increase by 6 (x represents days). The equation then turns into y=6x+10

Hope this helps comment for more questions :)

Lake has a total of $10,000 to invest in two accounts. One account earns 1% simple interest, and the other earns 10% simple inte
Elza [17]

Answer:

  1. $8000 at 1%
  2. $2000 at 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to let a variable represent the amount invested at the higher rate. Then an equation can be written relating amounts invested to the total interest earned.

__

<h3>setup</h3>

Let x represent the amount invested at 10%. Then 10000-x is the amount invested at 1%. The total interest earned is ...

  0.10x +0.01(10000 -x) = 280

<h3>solution</h3>

Simplifying gives ...

  0.09x +100 = 280

  0.09x = 180 . . . . . . . subtract 100

  x = 2000 . . . . . . divide by 0.09

  10000 -x = 8000 . . . . amount invested at 1%

<h3>1.</h3>

$8000 should be invested in the 1% account

<h3>2.</h3>

$2000 should be invested in the 10% account

find to consecutivephone number such that five times the smaller number plus 3 times the greater number make 59 hint let the num
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

x = 7 is the answer for the smaller number

7 + 1 = 8 is the answer for the larger number

Step-by-step explanation:

LET x and  x+1 be the two numbers here, as your hint suggests.

5x + 3(x+1) = 59

5x + 3x+3 = 59

8x = 59-3

8x = 56

/8      /8

--------------------------

x = 56/8 ---> x = 7

x = 7 is the answer for the smaller number

7 + 1 = 8 is the answer for the larger number

Check:

5 * 7 + 3 * 8 = 59

35 + 24 = 59

59 = 59 CORRECT
