Hello there, my fellow human being!
So, the chicken costs $8 and the duck costs $5, here's why.
Let's say x is the cost of a chicken while y is the cost of a duck.
We can make two linear equations using the information above.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y= 550
This month, he sold 44 chicken and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 440/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
5x + 3y = 44
11x + 9y = 133
So, now that we have our answer simplified, we have to use elimination to solve this system of equations. But, first we need to make sure that at least one of our variables is able to be canceled out.
Let's multiply this equation by -3.
(5x + 3y = 44) * -3.
-15x-9y=-165.
11x + 9y = 133
-15x - 9y = -165
______________
-4x/4 = -32/4
x = 8
11x + 9y = 133
11(8) + 9y = 133
88 + 9y = 133
-88 -88

9y/9 = 45/9
y = 5.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the number of people with Alzheimer's disease in the United States age 65 years and over is projected to be
where N is in millions where year 2010 corresponds to t=0
For 2020, 10 years lapsed hence t= 1
a) 
So 4.78025 million people
b) Growth = N(1)-n(0) =0.08025 million
c) N(4) = 5.084
Average rate of change = (5.084-4.7)/4 =0.096 million per decade
You multiply it with the same number you use for the denominator.
in this case 3/4 and 7/10
you find the LCM of the denominator is 20
so for 4 to become 20 you multiply by 5 then for the numerator 3 also multiply by 5, so you get 15/20
its the same also with 7/10, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 and get 14/20
hope it help... :)
3(2x+2)=3x-15
mutiply the bracket by 3
(3)(2x)(3)(2)= 6x+6
6x+6= 3x-15
move 3x to the other side
sign changes from +3x to -3x
6x-3x+6= 3x-3x-15
6x-3x+6= -15
3x+6= -15
move +6 to the other side
sign changes from +6 to -6
3x+6-6= -15-6
3x= -21
divide by 3 for both sides
3x/3= -21/3
x= -7
Answer: x= -7
