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.

the two lines represent the amount of water, over time, in two tanks that are the same size. Which container is filling more qui
uranmaximum [27]

The missing figure is attached down

Answer:

Container A is filling more quickly

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let us explain the linear relation</em>

The linear equation is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope of the line which represents the rate of change (change in y/change in x)
  • b is the y-intercept which means the initial amount of y (at x = 0)

<em>If a line represents the amount of water over time, then it represents the rate of filling of the water</em>

∵ There are two containers A and B that have the same size

∵ The two lines represent the amount of water over time in

    containers A and B

∴ The slopes of the lines represent the rat of water in the tanks

→ That means the greater slope represents the greater rate

∵ The greater the slope, the steeper the line

∴ The container that represented by the steeper the line is filling quickly

→ The line represents container A is steeper more than the line

    represents container B

∴ Container A is filling more quickly
