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

Enter the value of p so the expression 5/6-1/3n is equivalent to p(5-2n)?
inna [77]
P needs to be something that is multiplied through 5-2n to equal 5/6-1/3n.  Since you see that there is a 5 of somesort in both equations an easy place to start is simply making p=1/6.  Once you do that then 5*1/6=5/6 so the first part is okay. Then 2n*1/6=2n/6 which is able to be reduced to n/3.
Based on this it is clear that p should equal 1/6.

Find the measure of the interior angles.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2+x+3x+2=180

collect like terms

4x+x+3x=180-(2+2)

8x=180-4

8x=176

make x the subject of the formula

x=176/8

x=22

A pencil consists of a cone stacked on top of a cylinder. The diameter of the cylindrical base of the pencil is 10 mm and the he
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

790π

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Diameter of cylinder;d = 10 mm

So, radius;r = 10/2 = 5 mm

Height of cylinder;h = 70mm

Surface area of cylinder is given by the formula; S.A = 2πr² + 2πrh

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;S.A = 2π(5)² + 2π(5)(70)

S.A = 50π + 700π

S.A = 750π

Now, because one base of the cylinder is hidden as the cone is stacked on that face, we will deduct the area of that base face;

Thus, Surface area = 750π - π(5)² = 750π - 25π = 725π

For the cone,

Height;h = 12mm

Since this is stacked directly on the cylinder, it will have the same radius. Thus; radius;r = 5mm

Now,formula for surface area of cone is;

S.A = πr² + πrL

Where L is slant height.

We can use pythagoras theorem to get L.

So, L² = r² + h²

L = √r² + h²

L = √(5² + 12²)

L = √(25 + 144)

L = √169

L = 13

So, S.A of cone = π(5)² + (π×5×13)

S.A = 25π + 65π = 90π

Similar to what was done to the Cylinder, since the circular base of the cone is stacked on the cylinder, we will deduct the surface area of that base as it is hidden.

So, S.A is now = 90π - π(5)²

= 90π - 25π = 65π

Thus,total surface area of the pencil = 725π + 65π = 790π
