Answer:
Equations:
number of chickens = 52
number of goats = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A small ranch has chickens and goats
Total number of heads = 80
Total number of legs = 216
To find: number of chickens and goats
To draw: the graph
Solution:
Let x denotes number of chickens and y denotes number of goats.
According to the question,
From (i), put in (ii)
Put in equation (i)
So,
number of chickens = 52
number of goats = 28
If this were to be graphed, the independent variable would be the price of the ticket for the rides. The dependent variable would be the total cost.
The fair admission is not a variable because it is a constant price for every single person who goes into the fair.
The problem asks to use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets. In order to fully write out the equation, we have to figure out what the fair admission costs.
43.75 = 1.25(25) + b
*b represents the fair admission
Multiply 1.25 by 25
43.75 = 31.25 + b
Subtract 31.25 to find what b costs.
12.50 = b
The fair admission costs $12.50.
Solution: y = 1.25x + 12.50
Answer:
y = 1/6x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-x + 6y = 30
6y = x + 30
y = 1/6x + 5
