Answer: the cost of one chicken is $8
The cost of one duck is $5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one chicken.
Let y represent the cost of one duck.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550. It means that
50x + 30y = 550- - - - - - - - - - - 1
This month, he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532. It means that
44x + 36y = 532- - - - - - - - - - - 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 44 and equation 2 by 50, it becomes
2200x + 1320y = 24200
2200x + 1800y = 26600
Subtracting, it becomes
- 480y = - 2400
y = - 2400/- 480
y = 5
Substituting y = 5 Intl equation 1, it becomes
50x + 30 × 5 = 550
50x + 150 = 550
50x = 550 - 150
50x = 400
x = 400/50
x = 8
Answer:
Find a line which also has 3/4 as the slope or 3x - 4y in standard form.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the line is 3x - 4y = 1 then the line which is parallel will have the same coefficients of x and y. Parallel lines never cross and to ensure this have the same slope. The slope is a ratio which can be solved for in an equation using the coefficients of x and y. Here the slope is:
3x - 4y = 1
-4y = -3x + 1
y = 3/4x - 1/4.
Find a line which also has 3/4 as the slope or 3x - 4y in standard form.
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to 22 is C) One person caught fewer that 3 fish.
-x + 4 = 2x + 1
add x to both sides
4 = 3x + 1
subtract 1 from both sides
3 = 3x
dived 3 from both sides
1 = x
