Kelly needs to order lunch for orders 6 people at a business meeting. Her menu choices are chicken salad for a cost of $5 per pe
nirvana33 [79]
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!!

What is the value of tan(60°)? One-half StartRoot 3 EndRoot StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction StartFraction 1
Ratling [72]

Answer:

\sqrt3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:

The value of tan60^\circ = ?

Solution:

Kindly consider the equilateral \triangle ABC as attached in the answer area.

Let the side of triangle = a units

Let us draw the perpendicular from vertex A to side BC.

It will divide the side BC in two equal parts.

i.e. BD = DC = \frac{a}{2}

Using Pythagorean Theorem in \triangle ABD:

\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}

Side AD = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}a

Using Trigonometric ratio:

tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tanB = \dfrac{AD}{BD}

Putting the values of AD and BD:

tan60^\circ=\dfrac{\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a}{\frac{1}{2}a}\\\Rightarrow tan60^\circ = \bold{\sqrt3}
