Michael breeds chickens and ducks. last month, he sold 505050 chickens and 303030 ducks for \$550$550dollar sign, 550. this month, he sold 444444 chickens and 363636 ducks for \$532$532dollar sign, 532. how much does a chicken cost, and how much does a duck cost?

The price of a single chicken is $8 and the price of a single duck is $5 and this can be determine by forming the linear equation in two variables.

Given :

Let the price of single chicken be 'a' and the price of single duck be 'b'. Then the linear equation will be:

 --- (1)

 --- (2)

Now, solve the equation (1) for 'b'.

 ---- (3)

Now, put the value of 'b' in equation (2).

128 = 16a

a = 8

Now, put the value of a in equation (3).

b = 5

The price of a single chicken is $8 and the price of a single duck is $5.

f(x) is the value of the function. b is the value of the function when x equals zero or the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis in the coordinate plane.
