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.

Question 7
<h3>Answer: A) 15</h3>
---------------------
Work Shown:
angle B = angle D = 56
angle C = angle F = 64
The missing angle A adds with B and C to get 180
A+B+C = 180
A = 180-B-C
A = 180-56-64
A = 60
Since angles B and D are congruent, and C and F are congruent, this must mean angle A = angle E. I'm using the angle angle (AA) similarity rule.
angle E = angle A
3x+15 = 60
3x = 60-15
3x = 45
x = 45/3
x = 15
Side note: I'm not sure why your teacher marked angle E as the same as angles C and F. They should have used another angle marker to indicate that angles A and E are the same.

Question 8
<h3>Answer: B) 17</h3>
------------------------------
Work Shown:
Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EDF. The order is important. We have A first, then B, then C for ABC. Also, we have E first, then D, then F for EDF.
Therefore, we have these three pairings
- angle A = angle E
- angle B = angle D
- angle C = angle F
We'll first need angle C
A+B+C = 180
C = 180-A-B
C = 180-42-108
C = 30
which we'll then solve for x
angle F = angle C
4x-4 = 30
4x = 30+4
4x = 34
x = 34/4
x = 8.5
which doubles to
2x = 2*8.5
2x = 17
