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.

write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through ( 4, -4) and is parallel to 3 + 4x = 2y - 9​
Kruka [31]

Answer:

y = 2x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 3 + 4x = 2y - 9 into this form

add 9 to both sides

12 + 4x = 2y ( divide all terms by 2 )

6 + 2x = y ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (4, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 =8 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 8 = - 12

y = 2x - 12 ← equation of parallel line

Andru [333]

Answer:

4 {e}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

12e^5 ÷ 3e^3 \\  \\  =  \frac{\cancel {12} {e}^{5} }{\cancel 3 {e}^{3} }  \\  \\  = 4 {e}^{5 - 3}  \\  \\  = 4 {e}^{2}

A student's grade for the four quarters are 95, 83, 91, and 85. What does the student need to earn on the final exam to have an
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The least score the student can get is 71 to get an overall B average at the end of the year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the score she needs to get be = x

We now have to take the mean of all the five subjects <em>(including x)</em> and equate it to the least score she can have to get a B grade.

Let us take the least score the student needs to get a B grade to be 85

Mean of all 5 scores =

\frac{95+83+91+85+x}{5}=85

\frac{354+x}{5} =85

354+x = 425

x = 71

The least score the student can get is 71 to get an overall B average at the end of the year.

How do i factor the coefficent out of a variable, such as 2.4n+9.6 and -6z+12
ANEK [815]
You are factoring one or more linear expressions (but are not factoring variables).

2.4n+9.6 can be divided by 2.4 and then the result mult. by 2.4:

2.4n+9.6 = 2.4 [ n + 4 ]

Also:  -6z+12= 6 [ -z + 2 ]  Here I have simplified linear functions but factoring out common constant coefficients (not variables).

Are:
eimsori [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The mean can be found using the AVERAGE() function.

x = 272.7

b. The standard deviation can be found with the STDEV() function.

s = 39.9

c. The t-score can be found with the T.INV.2T() function.  The confidence level is 0.04, and the degrees of freedom is 26.

t = 2.162

d. Find the lower and upper ends of the confidence interval.

Lower = 272.7 − 2.162 × 39.9 = 186.5

Upper = 272.7 + 2.162 × 39.9 = 358.9
