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.
Ok. You can use equations to find out what number of each meal was eaten.
x*14+y*17=99
If you solve for x and y (I used guess and check- there's only a few possible combinations) and got one chicken dinner and five steak dinners.
25 minutes = 1800 words
so 1 minute = 1800/25 = 72 words
answer: 72 words per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
g(5)=3(5)-11
=15-11
=4
f(g(5))=2(4)²+4(4)+10
=2(16)+16+10
=32+26
=58
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
-3/4 - (-1/2) = - 1/4
-2/3 - 5/6 = - 3/2
-1/4 ÷ -3/2
