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
The answer is 10
The equation would look like
5(4)-4(3)+2
And if you solve it, you’ll get 10 as your answer
.55*X=231 .....X=231/.55.......X= 420
Answer:
Mr.Robinson; 27/40 i think.
Step-by-step explanation: To begin solving you have to make both of the denominators the same by multiplying 2/5 by 4 and 1/4 by 5 giving you 8/20 and 5/20. From there i'm pretty sure you just add the two fractions to get 13/40 leaving 27/40 to be washed.
