The answer is chicken $8, duck $5
x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck
<span>he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
</span><span>he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
</span>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
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse function switch variables out and solve for y
If
y=(x+3)/x swap variables to get
(y+3)/y=x then solve for y
y+3=yx
y-yx+3=0
y-yx=-3
y(1-x)=-3
y=-3/(1-x)
y=3/(x-1)
Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
|2 - 4a| - 2(b - 7)
|2 - 4(3)| - 2(-5 - 7)
|2 - 12| + 10 + 14
|-10| + 10 + 14
10 + 10 + 14
20 + 14
34
Best of Luck!
I know we aren’t suppose to promote other websites but photomath will scan these questions and give you an explanation quicker than live ppl answering them. Or tiger algebra or math papa all of these are great for solving algebra problems :)
