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
Answer: 11,544 pieces of candy are made per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:
- <em>Gallons of corn syrup used: 8
</em>
- <em>Pieces of candy produced: 1,776
</em>
- <em>gallons of corn syrup per hour: 52
</em>
If we apply proportions:
8 /1,776 = 52/x
Where x is the pieces of candy made per hour.
Solving
x = 52x1, 776 /8
x = 11,544
11,544 pieces of candy are made per hour.
Log (x) = 3
10^3 = x
x = 1,000
Answer:
0.004
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 4/10 is 0.4 and 4/100 is 0.04, 4/1000 must be 0.004
I am guessing the answer is both
x=-0.834252 or x=0.134252
