The answer is chicken $8, duck $5
x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck
<span>he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
</span><span>he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
</span>50x + 30y = 550 divide by 10
44x + 36y = 550 divide by 4
______________
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 550/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
______________
5x + 3y = 55 Multiply by (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
5x * (-3) + 3y * (-3) = 55 * (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
-15x - 9y = -165
11x + 9y = 133
______________
Sum up:
-4x + 0y = -32
-4x = -32
x = -32/-4
x = 8
Since 5x + 3y = 55 and x = 8, then:
5 * 8 + 3y = 55
40 + 3y = 55
3y = 55 - 40
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5
It's pretty straightforward and simple:
Six more means + 6.
Twice a number means 2n.
Is 16 means = 16
Now combine these three definitions and you will receive:
6 + 2n = 16
Now solve this simple equation:
6 + 2n = 16
2n = 16 - 6
2n = 10
n = 10 / 2 = 5
So the correct answer is D.
It is zero
the answer is 5.3 x 10^0
because 10^1 would force you to move the decimal place to make it 53
I hope this helps!
Answer:
$960
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original amount be = x
Percentage increase is equal to = 12.5%
final amount = original amount + increase
final amount = x + 0.125x
final amount = 1.125x
final amount = 1080 = 1.125x
and then solve for x
so in the end x is equal to $960
Solve the equation: 1080 = 1.25x
