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.
Let,
digital cameras be "x"
video cameras be "y"
Now,
According to the question,
5x + 3y = $3,213..................................................equation (1)
y = 4x..................................................................equation (2)
Taking equation (1)
5x + 3y = $3,213
Substituting the value of "y" from equation (2), we get,
5x + 3(4x) = $3,213
5x + 12x = $3,213
17x = $3,213
x = $3,213 / 17
x = $189
Taking equation (2)
y = 4x
Substituting the value of "x", we get,
y = 4 ($189)
y = $756
Now,
John buys a digital and a video camera. So, it costs him ($189 + $756) = $945
Answer:
Congruent sides or segments have the exact same length. Congruent angles have the exact same measure. For any set of congruent geometric figures, corresponding sides, angles, faces, etc. are congruent.

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
→ Set up an equation
125 + 15x = 215
→ Minus 125 from both sides
15x = 80
→ Divide both sides by 15
x = 6
