1.)
c=number of people that ordered chicken dinner
s=number of people that ordered steak dinner

2.)
c+s=6
148c+170s=910

3.) 
now you would use elimination or substitution. In this specific problem, i think elimination would be best. Elimination is used to cancel out one variable. For this problem, i will eliminate s.
In order to do that, you need to multiply the top equation by -170 in order to cancel out the positive 170 in the bottom equation. 
-170(c+s=6)
-170c+-170s=-1020

Now, you have 
-170c+-170s=-1020
148c+170s=910

Now you cancel out the s variables and you are left with
-170c=-1020
148c=910

now you add the two equations together
-170c+148c=22c
-1020+910=110

Your new equation is 22c=110

now you divide both sides of the equation by 22 to get c alone

22c/22=110/22

c=5


now you plug in your answer for c in one of the original equations, to make it easier plug it into the top equation 
5+s=6
now subtract 5 from both sides
s=1

5 people bought chicken dinners, and one person ordered steak dinner

Simplify the radical expression. Show all your steps. <br><br> √363 - 3√27
siniylev [52]

Answer:

2 sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

sqrt(363) - 3 sqrt(27)

sqrt(27) = sqrt(3^3) = 3 sqrt(3):

sqrt(363) - 33 sqrt(3)

sqrt(363) = sqrt(3×11^2) = 11 sqrt(3):

11 sqrt(3) - 3×3 sqrt(3)

-3×3 = -9:

11 sqrt(3) + -9 sqrt(3)

11 sqrt(3) - 9 sqrt(3) = 2 sqrt(3):

Answer: 2 sqrt(3)

What is the value of 2x3 + x2 – x when x = 3?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

This is assuming that x2 means x to the power of 2 and that the x on the left is to represent multiplying. First, plug in all of the number to get 2*3+3^2-3.Using PEMDAS, you should solve the exponent to get 9. Then, multiply 2 by 3 to get 6. Add 6 to 9 to get 15. Subtract 2 to 15 to get 12.

TL;DR

2*3+3^2-3

6+9-3

15-3
