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

What is m∠V?
Bezzdna [24]
We know that
Applying the law of cosines

c²=a²+b²-2*a*b*cos C------> cos C=[a²+b²-c²]/[2*a*b]

in this problem

a=7.6 in

b=8.6 in

c=7.4 in

C=angle V

 cos C=[7.6²+8.6²-7.4²]/[2*7.6*8.6]----> 0.5887

C=arc cos (0.5887)--------> C=53.93°-------> C=53.9°


the answer is

angle V is 53.9°

Answer:

(x+y+z)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+2x(y+2)+(y+2)^2

there is a factoring rule where

a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2

So,

a = x

b = y + z
