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!!

Complete Question
Sophie pays m dollars to rent a car for the weekend. On the drive home, she buys $45 worth of gasoline. Her friend Melody pays for one-half the cost of the car rental only. Write an expression you could use to determine how much Sophie spent.
Answer:
1/2m + 45
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that:
On the drive home, she buys $45 worth of gasoline.
Her friend Melody pays for one-half the cost of the car rental only.
Sophie pays m dollars to rent a car for the weekend.
The amount sophie pays for car rental = m - 1/2m
= 1/2m
Therefore, the expression used to determine how much sophie spent is written as:
1/2 × $m + $45
1/2m + 45
8 times since 4x4x4=64 and 8x8x8=512
so 512/64 equals 8 so it's 8 times greater
