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.
Answer: y = 2/3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We will write the equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b).
In the formula y=mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. We need the slope and y intercept numbers to write the equation. Since we know the slope we will use the given point to find the y intercept by plotting in the x and y coordinates into the formula.
1 = 2/3(-3) + b Solve for b
1= -6/3 + b
1 = -2 + b
+2 +2
b = 3
The equation will be y = 2/3x + 3
X - 18 = 35. 53 is x, since 53 - 18 = 35.
Answer:
The student is expected to spend <em>15.4 hours </em>doing homework
Step-by-step explanation:
The scattered plot shows there is a close correlation between the variables. A line of best fit will go through the 'center' of the points. Since we are not required to find an exact line, we'll draw it in red color as shown below
To know the equation of that line, we must take two clear points of it from the graph. We'll pick (28,4) and (4,25)
The equation of a line, given two points (a,b) and (c,d) is
Using the selected points
Simplifying and computing results, the equation is
Using that equation, we can predict how many hours the students will spend doing homework if they spend 15 hours watching TV
=15.4 hours
So the student is expected to spend 15.4 hours doing homework
The answer is -8/15. This is a for sure correct answer.
