Answer: chicken $8, duck $5
Explanation:
x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck
he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
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 is c.
explanation:
20+130+h =180
when you solve you get h=50
130+g = 180
g= 50
50+60+f = 180
f=70
X= 45, you would place 15 into y's place, which would give you x-15= 30... then you would add 15 to both sides, which would give you x=45<span />
The business owner should be told to angle a spotlight mounted on the roof at the angle of =39°
<h3>Calculation of angle</h3>
The distance of the flagpole from the building = 55ft
The building has the height of = 45ft
The flagpole has the height of = 25ft
The angle can be calculated using the formula;
Tan θ = opposite/adjacent
Where opposite= 45ft
adjacent = 55ft
Tan θ = 45/55 = 0.82
θ = Tan–¹0.82
θ = 39°
