Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.
The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.
The system is
6h + 1d = 40
4h + 3d = 36
The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,
1d = 40 - 6h.
Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,
4h + 3d = 36 becomes
4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!
4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and
-14h = -84 so
h = 6.
That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:
1d = 40 - 6(6) and
d = 40 - 36 so
d = 4.
That means that each duck costs $4.
Answer:
D) 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 2 from all terms within the equation:
(2y)/2 = (10x - 8)/2
y = (10x)/2 - (8)/2
y = 5x - 4
Note the slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
y = y
x = x
m = slope
b = y-intercept.
In this case, 5 is in place of m, or your slope.
D) 5 is your answer.

X-y=6 Equation 1
x+y=4 Equation 2
To graph the given system of equation, first find x and y-intercept of each equation.
x-y=6
When y=0
x=6 Point is (6,0)
When x=0
-y=6
y=-6 Point is (0,-6)
Now x-intercept and y-intercept for equation 2.
x+y=4
When x=0
y=4 Point is (0,4)
When y=0
x=4 Point is (4,0)
Now plot these points on the graph, the lines intersect each other at point (5,-1), which is the solution of the given system.
Answer: (5,-1)
