Answer:

  • 14 oxen
  • 8 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of oxen. Then the number of ducks is 22-x and the number of legs is ...

  4x +2(22 -x) = 72

  2x +44 = 72 . . . . . . . simplify

  x +22 = 36 . . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 14 . . . . . . . . . subtract 22; the number of oxen

  22-x = 8 . . . . . the number of ducks

There are 8 ducks and 14 oxen in the barn.

The price of a particular stock is represented by the linear equation y=-0.91x+103.47
Mama L [17]

To find the price of the stock after 12 weeks, you would have to plug in 12 to x

That would make your equation: y = -0.91(12) + 103.47

Then, you solve:

-0.91(12) would be -10.12

Your equation will now look like this:

y = - 10.12 + 103.47

Then you add -10.12 to 103.47

-10.12 + 103.47 = 92.55

y = 92.55

After 12 weeks, the price of the stocks would be $92.55
