The answer is
A. Linda has $1,500 in a bank account that pays 3% annual interest.
-5 = 3/4x - 2
-5 + 2 = 3/4x
-3 = 3/4x
-3 / (3/4) = x
-3 * 4/3 = x
-12/3 = x
-4 = x <==

Hello there, my fellow human being!
So, the chicken costs $8 and the duck costs $5, here's why.
Let's say x is the cost of a chicken while y is the cost of a duck.
We can make two linear equations using the information above.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y= 550
This month, he sold 44 chicken and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 440/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
5x + 3y = 44
11x + 9y = 133
So, now that we have our answer simplified, we have to use elimination to solve this system of equations. But, first we need to make sure that at least one of our variables is able to be canceled out.
Let's multiply this equation by -3.
(5x + 3y = 44) * -3.
-15x-9y=-165.
11x + 9y = 133
-15x - 9y = -165
______________
-4x/4 = -32/4
x = 8
11x + 9y = 133
11(8) + 9y = 133
88 + 9y = 133
-88 -88
________________
9y/9 = 45/9
y = 5.
_ * 5 > 5
3/3 is equal to 1 which would make them equal to each other.
2/3 is less than one which means it would make the number on the left less than 5, not greater than.
the answer is 5/3 because it is bigger than the other answer choices and will result in a greater number than that on the right.
