Answer:
-12/8 or -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
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!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this multiplication of polynomials by understanding how to multiply these large terms.
To multiply two polynomials together, we must multiply each term by each term in the other polynomial. Each term should be multiplied by another one until it's multiplied by all of the terms in the other expression.
- <em>We can do this by focusing on one term in the first polynomial and multiplying it by </em><em>all the terms</em><em> in the second polynomial. We'd then repeat this for the remaining terms in the second polynomial.</em>
Let's first start by multiplying the first term of the first polynomial,
, by all of the terms in the second polynomial. (
)
Now, we can add up all these expressions to get the first part of our polynomial. Ordering by exponent, our expression is now
Now let's do the same with the second term (
) and the third term (
).
- Adding on to our original expression:
- Adding on to our original expression:
Phew, that's one big polynomial! We can simplify it by combining like terms. We can combine terms that share the same exponent and combine them via their coefficients.
This simplifies our expression down to
.
Hope this helped!
The answer is 5/8. Hope this helps
Ummm not to freak you out but what’s that in the background?
