Answer:
b = -4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract the 1/2 over
-1/4b+1/2=5/6
5/6-1/2
To get a common denominator of 6, multipy 1/2 by 3
5/6-1/2(3)
5/6-3/6=2/6
-1/4b=2/6
Next, multiply by the reciprocal of -1/4, or -4
(-4)-1/4b=2/6(-4)
b=-4/3
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
The given sequence is
a₁ = 29
a₂ = 39
a₃ = 49
a₄ = 59
This sequence is an arithmetic sequence. Th first term is a₁ = 29, and the common difference is d= 10.
The n-th term is

The 33-rd termis
a₃₃ = 29 + (33 - 1)*10
= 29 + 320
= 349
Answer: a₃₃ = 349
Answer:
I think: 0 = 3x + b or b = -3x + 0 or x = -b + 0/3 or 3 = -b + 0/x
Sorry if you get this wrong..
