Use algebra Set up a system of equations.
Let x = number of pounds of chicken he sold
and y = number of pounds of pork
So one equation is
x + y = 15....... (1)
And the other equation is the amount of money he made :-
3x + 4y = 50....(2)

Now solve this sytem of 2 equations:-

multiply the eqaution (1) by -3:-

-3x - 3y = -45 .......(3)
3x + 4y = 50 ........(2) Now add (3) and (2);-

y = 5 so he sold 5 pounds of pork

and substituting in equation (1)

x + 5 = 15
x = 10

So he sold 5 pounds of pork and 10 pounsd of chicken.

C=10 & P=5
3C+4P=50
C+P=15
Solve
3C+4P=50
3C+3P=45
Subtract
P=5
Substitute in equation 2
C+P=15
C+5=15
C=10

Which basic geometric figure is labeled with either one capital letter or three capital letters?

tester [92]

Answer-

An angle is labeled with either one capital letter or three capital letters

Solution-

Point-

As a point is 0 dimensional, so you just need 1 point to define a point.

Line-

As a line is 1 dimensional,so you need 2 points to define a line.

Plane-

A plane is 2 0r 3 dimensional, so you need 3 points to define a plane.

Angle-

An angle measures the amount of turn. An angles is labeled with a single letter at the vertex, as long as it is perfectly clear that there is only one angle at this vertex. Otherwise, it is named according to the intersecting lines with 3 letters.

The perimeter of a right angled triangle is 56 cm and its hypotenuse is 25 cm. Find the area of triangle.

Daniel [21]

Perimeter = 56
Hypo = 25
So 56-25 = 31 (for two side)
for one side = 31/2 = 15.5

so area = 1/2 x base x height

Renee is simplifying the expression (7) (StartFraction 13 over 29 EndFraction) (StartFraction 1 over 7 EndFraction). She recogni

dsp73

Answer:

The correct option is commutative property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that Renee is simplifying is:

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})$

It is provided that, Renee recognizes that 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ are reciprocals, so she would like to find their product before she multiplies by $\frac{13}{29}$ .
