Let the cost of a chicken be x and the cost of a duck, y, then

50x + 30y = 550 . . . (1)
44x + 36y = 532 . . . (2)

(1) x 6 ⇒ 300x + 180y = 3,300 . . . (3)
(2) x 5 ⇒ 220x + 180y = 2,660 . . . (4)

(3) - (4) ⇒ 80x = 640
⇒ x = 640 / 80 = 8

From (1): 50(8) + 30y = 550
⇒ 30y = 550 - 400 = 150
⇒ y = 150 / 30 = 5

Therefore, the price of a chicken is $8 and the price of a duck is $5.

Can someone help me plzz??

Answer:

(0,20)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we can represent the situation as coordinates

lets have # of texts be "x" variable

lets have bill be "y" as the y variable is always the dependant variable and the cost of the phone bill is dependant upon the number of texts so

y=mx+b-slope-intercept form

coordinates: (50,25) and (100,30)

slope: (30-25)/(100-50)

5/50=1/10

hence slope=1/10

y=1/10x+b

substitute in a coordinate pair into this equation

25=50*1/10+b

25=5+b

b=20

hence y intercept is (0,20)

X to the power of 3 - 7x + 6 factorise please whole step by step​
Over [174]

Answer:

(x     +  3)(x   -  2)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{3}  - 7x + 6

Factor using Rational Root Theorem.

This means our possible roots are

positve or negative (1,2,3,6). If we try positve 1, it is indeed a root.

This means that

(x - 1)

is a root.

We can divide the top equation by the root (x-1). Our new equation is

( {x}^{2}   +  x - 6)

Now we can factor this completely

(x + 3)(x - 2)

So this equation in factored form is

(x  + 3)(x - 2)(x - 1)

riadik2000 [5.3K]
Number of milk cartons put out for breakfast = 100

Number of cartons remaining at the end = 27

Number of cartons consumed = 100 - 27 = 73

Ratio of cartons remaining / cartons consumed = 27/73
