Answer: chicken $8, duck $5
Explanation:
x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck
he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
50x + 30y = 550 divide by 10
44x + 36y = 550 divide by 4
______________
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 550/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
______________
5x + 3y = 55
Multiply by (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
5x * (-3) + 3y * (-3) = 55 * (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
-15x - 9y = -165
11x + 9y = 133
______________
Sum up:
-4x + 0y = -32
-4x = -32
x = -32/-4
x = 8
Since 5x + 3y = 55 and x = 8, then:
5 * 8 + 3y = 55
40 + 3y = 55
3y = 55 - 40
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5
The chicken is 8$ and the duck is 5$

Answer:
3043 (base 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>216 36 6 1</u>
3 0 4 3
216* 3 = 648
6*4 = 24
1*3 = 3
648+24+3 = 675
tan A = opposite/ adjacent , so it is equal to 7/ 4V2, or 7V2/4 which is answer B
Slope intercept form
y = mx + b
-2x + 5y = 10
5y = 2x + 10
Divide by 5
y = 2/5x + 2
