Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28
Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad
Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :
(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28
4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2
Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1
5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24
x = 4
Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)
x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6
We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2
x=4 and y=2
So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!
I hope you understood my brief explanation!!
p.s if you want to know how to use another method to solve these problems ( Substition) , just let me know in a comentary down here
We are given
we can use distribute property
Distributive property:
so, we can write it as
now, we can multiply terms
and we get

Answer:
C. 4:13
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 4 students in the 4th grade and 4+9= 13 so it is 4:13
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given sequence:</u>
<u>This is AP with:</u>
- The first tern a₁ = - 3
- Common difference d = 3
<u>The rule for the nth term of the sequence is:</u>
<u>Substitute values:</u>
- aₙ = -3 + (n - 1)(3) =
- -3 + 3n - 3 =
- 3n - 6
