Answer:

150 chicken eggs broke.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let chicken eggs be represented by = c

Let duck eggs be represented by = d

An egg seller ordered 600 duck eggs and chicken eggs altogether.

c+d=600

The number of duck eggs was 2/5 of the total number of eggs.

=> d=\frac{2}{5}\times600= 240 eggs.

So, c=600-240=360

Some chicken eggs broke during delivery and the number of duck eggs became 8/15 of the total number of eggs.

Let x eggs broke.

Remaining were 600-x

And d=\frac{8}{15}\times(600-x)

=> 240= \frac{8}{15}\times(600-x)

=> 8(600-x)=240\times15

=> 4800-8x=3600

=> 8x=1200

x = 150

Hence, 150 chicken eggs broke.

Answer:

150 eggs were broken

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of duck eggs = 2/5 * 600 = 240

Number of chicken eggs = 600 - 240 = 360

Total number of duck eggs after delivery = 240x 8/15 = 450

Remaining chicken eggs =450-240=210

So broken chicken eggs= 360-210=150

Find the intersection points using substitution or elimination for each system of equations:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so I think I know what the equations are, but I might have misinterpreted them because of the syntax- I think when you ask a question you can use the symbols tool to input it in a more clear way, otherwise you can use parentheses and such.

Problem 1:

(x²)/4 +y²= 1

y= x+1

*substitute for y*

Now we have a one-variable equation we can solve-

x²/4 + (x+1)² = 1

x²/4 + (x+1)(x+1)= 1

x²/4 + x²+2x+1= 1

*subtract 1 from both sides to set equal to 0*

x²/4 +x^2+2x=0

x²/4 can also be 1/4 * x²

1/4 * x² +1*x² +2x = 0

*combine like terms*

5/4 * x^2+2x+ 0 =0

now, you can use the quadratic equation to solve for x

a= 5/4

b= 2

c=0

the syntax on this will be rough, but I'll do my best...

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x= (-2 ±√(2²-4*(5/4)*(0))/(2*(5/4))

x= (-2 ±√(4-0))/(2.5)

x= (-2±2)/2.5

x will have 2 answers because of ±

x= 0 or x= 1.6

now plug that back into one of the equations and solve.

y= 0+1 = 1

y= 1.6+1= 2.6

Hopefully this explanation was enough to help you solve problem 2.

Problem 2:

x² + y² -16y +39= 0

y²- x² -9= 0

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

34.78 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1) using the cosine function, I did cos(43)=x/51

This is because cosine is equal to adjacent over hypotnuse

Once I found x, I used the pythagorean theorem to get 34.78 feet
