Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Jake is 9, and Jake's dad is 43.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, let's start off by putting a variable for Jack's age, A.
We know that Jack's father is 2 less than 5 times, so we can write his as 5x -2.
Now let's make an equation:
52 = x + 5x - 2
We need to isolate the x-values so we need to add 2 on both sides:
54= x + 5x
No we need to add the like terms:
54 = 6x
Finally, we just divide by 6 on each side.
Now we know X = 9 but we're not done yet :)
So because Jake's dad is almost 5 times as much, we first multiply Jack's age by 5. We get 45 but we need to subtract 2 which leaves us with 43.
Answer: the cost of one chicken is $8
The cost of one duck is $5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one chicken.
Let y represent the cost of one duck.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550. It means that
50x + 30y = 550- - - - - - - - - - - 1
This month, he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532. It 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 Intl equation 1, it becomes
50x + 30 × 5 = 550
50x + 150 = 550
50x = 550 - 150
50x = 400
x = 400/50
x = 8
10 - 2x = -30
-2x = -40
2x = 40
x = 20
